To be honest, the fact that this is TIRnRR # 1250 didn't even register in my head until after Dana and I had already set the playlist and I had recorded my parts. Maybe that's testimony on behalf of how matter-of-fact our stubborn rockin' pop tenacity has become. OR! Each week's show is just another welcome milestone. Either way: Yay, US!
And this week's extravaganza does open with something very special, even though we can't yet reveal what it is. Our first three selections on TIRnRR # 1250 are as-yet-unreleased tracks by sparkle*jets u.k., Pop Co-Op, and the Kennedys, and they all come from a 2025 project called...well, never mind what it's called. Man, you people are nosy! But if you know, you know. It is NOT another volume in the This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio compilation series. For now, it's just [REDACTED].
Won't stop us from playing it! And if we've told you once we've told you 1250 times: This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO. Recent shows are archived at Westcott Radio
You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO).
TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
The many fine This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio compilation albums are still available, each full of that rockin' pop sound you crave. A portion of all sales benefit our perpetually cash-strapped community radio project:
