Request Lines Are Open: 6/27/2011 White Wedding Episode

One half of the Rock Show team (Mike) will be co-DJing a wedding reception in late July, and tonight's episode will be a dry run...

The goal: to play the one-hour's-worth of 60s and 70s classic rock & oldies songs that is most likely "to have as many people as possible getting down" at a wedding reception.

Any suggestions/requests?!

Tower Down - Listen Online Tonight

I've just gotten word that the KRUI tower is currently not broadcasting. They are working on the issue. If the signal still isn't going out by 8:00 tonight, you'll have to tune in over the Inter-net.

Do be sure to tune in though, for some quality rock music, including some classic rock medleys and longer album tracks.

Guest Spot on VeeGeePlus - This Sunday

Tune in on Sunday night from 6-8pm to hear Chris fill in as a guest DJ on VeeGeePlus, the show that's all about vinyl. He'll be hauling in a stack of LPs, many of which fall well outside the format of Rock Show, and he may even have his son in tow to celebrate father's day the record collector way!

We're still putting the final touches on tomorrow's playlist: What would you like to hear? We do take requests during the show, but getting them in early makes us much more likely to have the song you want on hand "when the bullet hits the bone" as it were.
