This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio # 961
Yeah, we’re gonna wing it this week. New music from Wes Hollywood (fabulous new album Dynamite on Kool Kat Musik), a raucous new single from 1.4.5., and another great compilation from Swedish superpop label Sound Asleep (Hit The Hay Vol. 10). We’ll introduce all of these to other Fave Raves and recent crushes, from Buck Owens, Prince, Joe Cocker, XTC, and The Ramones through Jim Basnight, Kai Danzberg, Clockwork Flowers, In Deed, and The Vapour Trails. It’s a party. And it’s what we do. The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin’ Planet? Obviously. This is what rock ‘n’ roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
