Before the weekend and its giddy promise of S!A!T-U-R!D-A-Y! NIGHT!, I will be appearing as a guest DJ tonight--Friday, September 13th--in the final hour of this week's edition of Dedication--Fans Remember The Bay City Rollers. Dedication is a weekly Rollers-related radio show that airs in Scotland at Midnight on Fridays, shang-a-langin' its way through four hours of Tartan-clad tunes. Dedication hosts Laura Brady and Suz Rostron are as dedicated as a rock 'n' roll love letter oughta be, and it was an honor and a blast to participate in this week's Rollersfest.
My guest DJ hour runs from 3 am to 4 am in Scotland (10 pm to 11 pm Eastern), and it will present a ranked list of my top ten favorite Rollers tracks. In between songs, Laura, Suz, and I will discuss the Bay City Rollers' image, music, and legacy, and that chat will also touch on the Ramones, the Flashcubes, punk, power pop, teen identity, hipsters 'n' snobs, radio, writing books (like, for example, The Greatest Record Ever Made! [Volume 1]), and the importance of digging what you dig. It might even make passing mention of my teen infatuation with Suzi Quatro. It's MONEY, honey!
Dedication airs Fridays from 7 pm to 11 pm New York time on TD1 Radio 106.5 FM in Scotland's Central Borders, and you can listen live via this link. The weekly closing guest DJ hour is subsequently available as a podcast via Apple and Spotify. I'll post a specific link to my stint as Yesterday's Hero when it becomes available.
For now: JOIN US! Turn on your radio. We only want to be with you.
