Ugh. Pressure's on now. http://www.wvkr.org/ has linked to this blog, so now there will be millions of visitors every few hours. I suppose I should update more often now that I'm not the only one visiting here.
Last week's show playlist will eventually appear -- once I retreive the cocktail napkin the playlist was written on, and provided nobody used said napkin to clean up the studio. Nah, fortunately that'll never happen.
Next show: this Thursday 5/1 (Mayday! Mayday!)

The Orphanage of Rock and Roll has been a home for homeless rock and pop records on 91.3 WVKR in Poughkeepsie, NY since 1995. ---- Join rock historian Pete Clark as he uncovers the deep tracks that fell between the cracks in the top-secret back room of the W-V-K-aRchives. ---- Footnotes in the history of rock and roll, along with vaguely familiar tracks you thought you’d never hear on the radio again.
