Busy, busy, busy weekend, so this week's epic playlist will have to speak for itself. Don't be surprised if it drops the mic when it's done. This is one cocky and confident playlist. But man, I do believe its hubris is justified. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
(Awright; plans changed and this weekend didn't turn out to be as busy as I'd hoped. It be that way sometimes. But this hype is already written, and the playlist can indeed speak for itself. This is rock 'n' roll radio. C'mon, let's rock 'n' roll with Dana & Carl.)
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
