10 SONGS: 11/29/2025
10 Songs is a weekly list of ten songs that happen to be on my mind at the moment. The lists are usually dominated by songs played on the previous Sunday night's edition of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. The idea was inspired by Don Valentine of the essential blog I Don't Hear A Single.
This week's edition of 10 Songs draws exclusively from the playlist for This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1312
THE RAMONES: Punishment Fits The Crime
Each week, when getting ready to plan the show's playlist with Dana, I keep a list of potential track choices to consider. The list includes new stuff, recent faves, old faves, old tracks we've never played before, and assorted items of varying vintage and familiarity that might fit into the presumed master plan of whatever it is we do on TIRnRR. The list carries through from week to week, its contents adjusted as we go.
The Ramones' "Punishment Fits The Crime" has been on that list for many weeks. The song was written by bassist Dee Dee Ramone and Plasmatics guitarist Richie Stotts, sung by Dee Dee, and included on the group's 1989 album Brain Drain (the last Ramones studio album to include Dee Dee as anything other than just songwriter). Frankly, Brain Drain is a contender for my least favorite Ramones album, but it does give us the fantastic "I Believe In Miracles," plus "Pet Sematary" and "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)," proving that even the merest Ramones album is still A RAMONES ALBUM!! Anyway, "Punishment Fits The Crime" fits in the category of "old tracks we've never played before," and that status is what placed it in my week-to-week list of playlist possibilities.
Prior to this week's programming session, I realized it had been a little while since we'd opened a show with the Ramones. I considered programming one of my many, many Ramones Picks T' Click in that leadoff spot, but opted to finally give "Punishment Fits The Crime" its long-overdue TIRnRR debut.
Throughout the process, it didn't even occur to me that the song's title could apply to...you know who. Let's hope we find a legal punishment to fit that guy in the very near future. As another punk band said: All crimes are paid.
THE LEGAL MATTERS: Everybody Knows
The minute I found out that the Legal Matters were doing a new album for Big Stir Records, I immediately petitioned the band and label for permission and access to play the then-forthcoming advance single. The album, Lost At Sea, is due in 2026, and the single "Everybody Knows" was released to radio just after this week's show was recorded. But we got it! Everybody knows we would be playing it; we knew we could not wait another week to do so. And everybody should know now: We're playing it again this Sunday.
SHOES: Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)
We don't get many opportunities to program new music by power pop legends Shoes, and we've never before had an opportunity to play Shows covering power pop's Ur group Raspberries. Opportunity SEIZED! Shoes' rendition of the Raspberries hit "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" comes to us from the superb various-artists 'Berries salute Play On: A Raspberries Tribute, a tribute curated by our friend Ken Sharp. Want a hit record? Look no further.
(Raspberries' original version of "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" ands Shoes' own incredible 1978 single "Tomorrow Night" are among the 145 tracks--one 45 at a time!--I discuss in my book The Greatest Record Ever Made! [Volume 1]. SPOILER ALERT: I like both of those records a lot. You can read all about them and their 143 GREM! brethren and sistren by ordering your own copy of the book. I'm Carl Cafarelli, and I approve this message. The Greatest Record Ever Made [Volume 2] is [very] tentatively planned for 2027.)
THE BUSBOYS: The Boys Are Back In Town
When Robbie Rist saw in this week's show hype that we were playing the BusBoys, he immediately wanted to know if we were playing new music by this great group. Alas, although we did program the BusBoys' then-recent single "In My Heart" back in 2024 (and likewise with "Love On My Mind" in 2022), we weren't even aware that there was new BusBoys music available. Honestly, I'd fire the TIRnRR research department, but that department is, y'know, me, and I've got tenure.
Robbie's (presumably) figurative headslap to our collective noggin prompted a fresh search for new BusBoys tuneage, resulting in a purchase of the 2025 digital-only album In My Heart. Target acquired! The album includes both of the 2020s singles mentioned above, and we'll debut another track from In My Heart on Sunday. Thanks for the nudzh, Robbie! Meanwhile, here's another spin of the BusBoys' best-known track "The Boys Are Back In Town," as heard when the BusBoys appeared in the 1982 Eddie Murphy-Nick Nolte flick 48 Hours. 'Cuz when the boys are back, there ain't no foolin' around.
THE MONKEES: Papa Gene's Blues
PLAY, magic fingers!
TAYLOR SWIFT: The Last Great American Dynasty
The Greatest Record Ever Made!
KEN SHARP: I'm A Rocker
One more from Play On: A Raspberries Tribute, "I'm A Rocker" as performed by the set's auteur Ken Sharp. I owned the original Raspberries 45 of "I'm A Rocker" when I was a teen in the '70s, and I was puzzled that it wasn't on the Raspberries' Best Featuring Eric Carmen compilation LP. Our Ken knows Raspberries' best better'n anybody, and he honors that legacy here.
DIRTY LOOKS: Let Go
Staten Island's phenomenal pop combo Dirty Looks with their signature tune. From a previous 10 Songs:
Statement of intent. This Staten Island trio's eponymous debut LP was released on the Stiff America label in 1980, and "Let Go" was an immediate fave rave on 97 Power Rock, a Sunday night alternative-rock showcase aired on Buffalo's 97 Rock FM. Hmmm. A Sunday night rock 'n' roll radio show? I may have made note of that particular notion for possible future use.
"Let Go" is a perfect post-punk radio pop song, fueled by new wave rock energy, rooted in catchy 1960s radio fare, and dead certain that the Ramones, the Who, Joe Jackson, and Paul Revere and the Raiders are Heaven-sent inspirations.
It's not easy to write a song about rock 'n' roll. It's not. Too many attempts at rock anthems feel forced, or overly earnest, pompous, clueless, heavy-handed, and...blechh. With "Let Go," Dirty Looks pull it off with style, and they make it seem like a cinch. Don't you know that rock 'n' roll is still the best drug? The drumming is hyperactive, the bass pushy (in a good way), the guitar simple and authoritative, the vocals and harmonies steadfast, reflecting the confidence of a group secure in the knowledge that it has God on its side. All you gotta do, let go, let go, let GO! GO! GO! GO! Belief is infectious. And godDAMN, this sounds so exhilarating on the radio.
It always has.
ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE ATTRACTIONS: Clowntime Is Over
Is clowntime over? All respect to Elvis Costello and the Attractions, but clowntime ain't really over until we heed the words of the Ramones:
Let the punishment fit the crime.
THE HIGH FREQUENCIES: Cleanup Time
And if there is any justice, clowntime will give way to cleanup time. "Cleanup Time" is my favorite track on the High Frequencies' super groovy new album Get High, and like our opening track by the Ramones, the title's topically apt nature didn't strike me until after the fact. Nonetheless: CLEANUP ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE! Mops at the ready. Let's go.

THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE! Taylor Swift, "The Last Great American Dynasty"
Drawn from previous posts, this is not part of my book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1).
An infinite number of tracks can each be THE greatest record ever made, as long as they take turns. Today, this is THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE!
Taylor Swift is probably the biggest single star on the planet right now, as close to a Beatles figure as our diffused pop culture can recognize at this time. As a baby boomer myself, I would have thought Swift's records unlikely to be my cuppa.
I would have thought wrong.
I admit I was a little bit surprised when my lovely wife Brenda floated the idea of the two of us checking out Taylor Swift's concert movie. I was even more surprised by how much I flat-out enjoyed 2024's Taylor Swift: The ERAS Tour, a film that offers a marvelous, fascinating immersion into the phenomenon of a Taylor Swift live show. Good choice, Brenda!
Previously, my take on Taylor Swift was that she's a remarkable talent whose music was intended for a demographic that doesn't include me. Fair enough. It didn't stop me from respecting her, even admiring her, and recognizing that she's a star whose celebrity status was built by talent, as well as a star who uses her celebrity responsibly. These are good things. I needn't wish to sing along with "Bad Blood" to appreciate any of that.
I'm not in Taylor Swift's demo, but I've come to appreciate her more and more, and I've even discovered a few of her tracks capable of annexing some pop-starved corner of my little wheelhouse. This is particularly true of "The Last Great American Dynasty," a stunning track from Swift's 2020 album Folklore; it's even more true of the alternate version of "The Last Great American Dynasty" found on Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, which feels more intimate and artful. As I said to a friend recently: I can't see anyone who likes Rumours-era Stevie Nicks disliking "The Last Great American Dynasty." Brenda herself added that the track reminded her of some of the female-sung indie pop that is such a frequent and welcome part of my own ongoing soundtrack.
Factions build divisions. Factions are notorious dumbasses. Maybe I'm not gonna start playing "Shake It Off" (though I've just begun to realize how much that track reminds me of some of the chick-fronted new wave pop I was digging in the early '80s), but I say some of Swift's music is nonetheless perfect, even for an out-of-demo curmudgeon like me. The next great American dynasty has gotta start somewhere. Might be the greatest dynasty ever made.

This week’s Wednesday
Wednesday is my day off from retail work, which makes it my designated day to record my parts for each week's edition of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio and to try to get around to doing whatever else needs doing. I always run out out of Wednesday before I run out of Wednesday things to do.
A holiday week, but the busy nature of Monday and Tuesday had little or nothing to do with Thanksgiving. On Monday, I had to leave work early for a dentist appointment, and then meet a contractor to discuss a possible home repair. I had an interview scheduled for Tuesday night (for my work-in-progress book Make Something Happen! The DIY Story Of A Power Pop Band Called THE FLASHCUBES), so Dana again agreed to do our programming for this week’s radio show on Monday night.
I am finding that moving the playlist planning session to Monday has been an advantage. On Monday night, I had the playlist finalized shortly after the call with Dana, and I had the individual song and ID files moved into the show folder before going to bed. Tuesday morning, I got up early enough to record all of my back announcements and patter before my morning commute. I annotated the playlist in between tasks at work. When I got home, I checked the spoken sections I’d recorded that morning, and judged only one of ‘em to be in need of a re-do. I carried out that correction and sent the folder to Dana before it was time for my Flashcubes interview.
Unfortunately, the Flashcubes interview didn’t happen, aborted in part by a technical issue at my end. We’ve rescheduled for next week, and I hope to resolve my tech problems by that time. (The most efficient remedy would be for me to buy a new phone. I am not doing that.)
Fourth paragraph in, and we’re just getting to this week’s Wednesday. I had another routine dentist visit Wednesday AM, and that should be my last one until May. I slept in until around 9:00, settled my weekly online banking and bill-paying, showered, and luxuriated in the pure pleasure of my hot mug of Folgers. I ate a bagel with peanut butter and honey, and left the house bound for glory or my dentist’s office, whichever I found first.
The ritual cleaning of my pearly yellows took about 45 minutes. From there, I made it to Comix Zone for my weekly haul—Ancestral Recall, Detective Comics, Justice League Unlimited, Superman, and Uncle Scrooge World’s Mightiest Duck—and then stopped at Funky Town Comics & Vinyl to pick up payment for a bunch of records I’d sold them. As popular as vinyl is among so many of my peers, I rarely listen to LPs nowadays. Mindful of the need to de-clutter where I can, I offered roughly two-fifths of what was left of my vinyl collection for sale to the good folks at Funky Town. I own too much stuff. I absolutely LOVE stuff, and it’s hard to let go of it. But… too much. One must occasionally let go.

| What remains |
It was only early afternoon, but it felt like a day best spent in chill mode. We had an early dinner of Brenda’s homemade spinach quiche, served with a side of blueberries and Greek yogurt and a bowl of coconut Thai curry soup. We eat well in this household. As evening arrived, we watched Jeopardy! and the first two episodes of the new second season of the wonderful Netflix series A Man On The Inside.
In terms of writing, this wasn't my most productive Wednesday ever, but I did continue to pick at things, mostly at the same things I've been tweaking and editing and cleaning over the past few days anyway. I've done more editing on the Flashcubes book. I've written a little bit more of "Lazarus Lives," a short story that's been on my WRITE-THIS-ALREADY! list since 1979. During all that time, I've only made sporadic attempts to actually write the damned thing, and its form has changed dramatically during its decades of incubation in my head.
"Lazarus Lives" was conceived in the immediate aftermath of a friend's suicide. The story was originally...down to Earth, I guess, an effort to exorcise trauma and depression. It has since become a fantasy piece, far removed from the real-life events that prompted it. Sometimes you can tell a truer story by lying, by just making things up. "Lazarus Lives" is still a reach for catharsis, even all these years after the fact, but now it's powered in part by memories of the desperate urge to create art. In this case, it's an urge to create comic books, and I use that as the story's backdrop. It means I have to concoct the brand-new characters to populate a comic book series that never existed, but I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. And that job's dangers are no match for my ongoing need to get this 46-year-old primal scream out of my head and onto the page.
...It was that damned calendar driving me on. I know it now, I knew it then. The awareness didn't matter. All I knew was that I couldn't bear to be away from home tomorrow, on the fiftieth anniversary of the last time I saw my best friend alive.
Let's not be coy about this. My friend's name was John. He killed himself, put a bullet in his head when we were still teenagers. Call me a drama queen for not ever getting over it, for still obsessing over it five decades later. That's the irony of suicide. Its memory never dies...
...We were an odd pair. Steve and John! Both outsiders, both intent on creating...something. I was a writer. John fancied himself a poet. His poetry was...well, let's not speak ill of the dead. But he had a gift for concepts, big ideas. All he and I really wanted to do was to write comic books....
I'm determined to finally complete "Lazarus Lives," and to include it in my short story collection Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies, which my vanity imprint Syracuse Noise has deluded itself into believing will be published in the first half of 2026.
Suckers.
Meanwhile, another new story from that presumed book will be shared with my paid subscribers next week (as detailed here). And while I'd hoped that Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) would pass two million accumulated views in time for its tenth anniversary on January 18th, it got there ahead of schedule, notching Click # 2,000,000 this past Sunday. We thank all who choose to Bop along.

Boppin's Monthly Day Off (and Carl writes another short story)
Once a month, Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) hits a twenty-four pause in its brain-dead dedication to daily public posting, and preps a private post shared exclusively with its beloved paid patrons.
This month's private post is a brand new short story: "Time, And The Junk Food Of Your Life," the light-hearted tale of a middle-aged man trying to travel back in time to enjoy a fast-food burger at a now-defunct burger joint chain. Hijinks ensue, as hijinks do.
The story will not appear on the blog any time in the near future. It was written for a book I hope to publish in 2026, Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies, which will be an anthology of my own short fiction. I've opted not to offer this story for sale to AHOY Comics, preferring to keep it free for inclusion in the book. Outside of this (presumed) eventual short story collection, "Time, And The Junk Food Of Your Life" will only be shared with my blog patrons.
Guitars Vs. Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies is one of two books I intend to publish in 2026; the other book is Make Something Happen! The DIY Story Of A Power Pop Band Called THE FLASHCUBES. I'm barreling ahead with work on both of those books, and I have at least three or four other books to address after that: two novels, a second volume of The Greatest Record Ever Made!, and a very ambitious project called [redacted]. After the short story collection and Flashcubes books are done, [redacted] will be my top priority. I aim to complete and publish each and every one of these books, and I hope more books can follow after them. Hell, I hope the opportunity to do [redacted] doesn't slip away because I took too much time to get to it.
Wanna see what I'm doing? You can receive this exclusive advance look at "Time, And The Junk Food Of Your Life" by becoming a patron. It costs ya three bucks a month, and it nets you a private post every month: Fund me, baby! This new short story will post to patrons on Monday. Regular daily public posting resumes tomorrow.

COMIC BOOK COVER GALLERY: Multi-part stories I wasn't able to finish reading upon publication in the '60s and '70s
After two Comic Book Cover Galleries spotlighting multi-part stories I enjoyed in the '60s and '70s, today's gallery turns to serials where I wasn't able to read the whole thing until years later (if at all). This was the drawback to continued stories when I was a kid; there was never a guarantee you'd even see the next issue, nor that you wouldn't wind up jumping into the middle of a storyline already in progress.
There's some overlap between this gallery and recent galleries, as some of what were (for me) originally orphaned issues eventually found their lost brethren after the fact. We are the world! We'll be sticking exclusively to the '60s-'70s era of acquisition I've established for these galleries. Today's selection includes books I bought new, back issues I acquired after the fact (but within the timeline), and B-stock contraband originally purchased without their covers. As always: These aren't actual photos of comics in my collection. But I did have each and every one of 'em at some point in time.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1312
We play something by the Ramones almost every week. The American Beatles! The greatest American rock 'n' roll band of all time! Hell, the very name of our little mutant radio show is copied off a line from a Ramones song. We're fans. DISCIPLES, even!
But it's been a while since we opened a show with a healthy, transcendent blast o' Ramones. That long draught ends now, and we're doing it with a track we've never played before: "Punishment Fits The Crime," from the 1989 album Brain Drain, the last Ramones album to feature bassist and founding member Dee Dee Ramone. The song was co-written by Dee Dee with Richie Stotts, and Dee Dee sings lead.
"Punishment Fits The Crime" has been on our reference list of potential playlist choices for quite a while. The song's title might suggest that it was chosen as commentary on something going on in the real world around us.
It was not. It actually is a coincidence, with no political commentary intended or implied.
But it fits.
This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
