All-vinyl music hour selected fresh each week from the collections of DJ El Destructo & DJ Dada. Loosely orbiting the planet of rock & roll from all decades and locales, primitive or polished, underground or overgrown, crackles, pops, scratches and all.
52 Tuesday nights, every one a party--what a year it's been on the Rock & Roll Lounge. Destructo spins some of his all time favorites from the old world to the new, Dada plays the founding fathers (and mothers!) of r&r/r&b. For all the people who died (died). In a prophetic coincidence we hear Chuck Berry's "I Wanna Be Your Driver" followed up by Iggy Pop singing "I Am The Passenger." Thank you to all our listeners let's keep it going into year 2.
Keep the car running, get in the backseat and turn it up for a double dose of Ramones for Joey's 74th bday, Jon Spencer preview, Seeds/ Monks/ Monkeybirds, MAMA ROUX from the night tripper, the killer Jerry Lee, John Cale uptight with Terry Riley live from the Church of Anthrax. It's a classic hour of mayhem from Destructo & Dada pushing all the right buttons -- today your love, tomorrow the world.
Celebrating 50 hours of records from the Rock & Roll Lounge to your radios -- keep your antennae up cuz the music never stops.
