To the Bunnymobile! We're about halfway through the season of Lent, but this week's TIRnRR is just loaded with Easter eggs. In fact, there's at least one such hidden treat in each set. We'd tell you more, but further information remains [REDACTED]. For now.
We open with something that isn't necessarily an Easter egg, but it sure is sweet: A brand new track from Joe Giddings, covering the Flashcubes' "You're Not Grounded." It's simply superb, and we look forward to September, when you'll be able to own your own copy of "You're Not Grounded" by Joe Giddings as part of the various-artists set Make Something Happen! A Tribute To A DIY Power Pop Band Called THE FLASHCUBES.
More details yet to come on that particular project. Meanwhile, please enjoy some tasty Easter eggs as a part of this balanced diet of pop with power, rock with roll, radio with purpose, frilly fun with intent to stun. To the Bunnymobile! It's rabbit transit.This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
