On the Record Radio Boston

I think you could make a sound, well reasoned argument that the way you send off a record is equally, if not more, important than the way you open it up.

I plan on making that very argument this Friday on . Join us from 12 to 2pm and we’ll jump into the closing tracks from some of my favorite records.

See you then!

There’s nothing better than the perfect playlist for the late night drive home from work, a gig, a midnight crime spree…. whatever. It can’t be too loud. It’s gotta be chill. It has to be just right. This Friday come on over to wrbrocks.com from 12 to 2pm and I’ll spin you some of my favorite tunes for the long drive home.
