TVD | Rocktober

I’ve posted this once before perhaps a year and a half ago, but I think it’s important to relisten to insomuch as to understand the context in which the Rocktober classics lived and breathed and spit fire and in some cases, blood.

It’s a glorious 45 minute run of classic radio out of New York City in 1979— complete with commercials.

I get misty at the 30 second spot for Crazy Eddie. A few of you just may as well.

Jon, I've listened to this a good few times since you posted it first: we shoved it on in France this summer one holiday Saturday night of cooking and wine, and it was just perfect.

I love old radio shows - they're like little time capsules aren't they? And all the more precious because they were never meant to be preserved for posterity.

Couldn't agree with you more, Davy. We listened to this once in June at a birthday BBQ for yours truly - and it was the perfect soundtrack.

Next month would be NoWave - right? (Sonic Youth, et al...)
