On The Record Radio - Mar 22, 2024
“Dude. DUDE! you have to hear this tape I made!”I know, I know, we’re a show about vinyl. But don’t act like you never made a mixtape. When you grew up in the cassette generation, mixtapes were a staple of life. When you had a friend you gave a shit enough about to share music with, what better way than putting a bunch of those songs on a tape? The kids are sharing Spotify links now (us too!), but it’s not the same.
This week @ontherecordradioboston is putting together a mixtape of our favorite songs from the 80’s. You’ll get some rock, a little pop, some seagulls and maybe a number or two to call, and a special guest along for the ride.
Don't miss On the Record Radio LIVE on Fridays from 12 to 2pm on wrbrocks.com and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @ontherecordradioboston.

We find The Shang Hi Los, On Regret and Sunset Electric joining the list of local artists played on the show. And we play songs from our favs too like Brand new songs from Everfiner, Robotic Hawks, and Octavate!

Oh I put in some other songs on the spot from Earthmark and others, so check it out for all the fun and surprises. Feel free to watch and reach out about my companion video at Who.iAm_Live on Insta. Join the facebook group TWRS143 to get more Who.iAm Radio Show news and information about the show. The show starts with a botched attempt to play the Who.iAm song LMK when it's time to rock. So, just hang in until you hear the last bit of it pop on ha. It's like pushing buttons and sliders and things to make it all work. Always only local music! 143

On The Record Radio - Mar 8, 2024
Let me ask you something. How do you feel about greatest hits records? Do they have a place in the collection? Should we only experience our favorite songs in the order the band intended? Even if that means to committing to buying an entire catalog? Do you need to have every record of over band you love? It’s definitely debatable. I have mixed feelings.
I know. That was like, four questions.
Let’s hear what you think this Friday March 8th from 12 to 2pm. I’ve put together a pretty wide ranging set of songs pulled from greatest hits records. We’ll hear from bands like Queen, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and a whole lot more. It’s gonna be a big day. Let’s do it!

Rick's Rock Shop - Feb 16, 2024
Prog rock! What is it exactly? Well, there is no “exactly.” It’s an ambiguous genre that’s more often defined as “I know it when I hear it.” There are the monsters of prog (Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, ELP, etc.) that help create a progressive rock blueprint. But from there, expect it to go anywhere and everywhere! In 2 hours, with prog rock’s tendency for looooong songs, you can’t do an extensive deep-dive, but we can provide an engaging overview. This is a really cool show, IIDSSM. It’s a great sampling of many different styles, from the fore mentioned godfathers of the style to the bands keeping the genre alive and vibrant (Porcupine Tree, Soen, The Pineapple Thief, etc.). Turn down the lights, close your eyes, TURN IT UP, & get completely lost in the music! And with less breaks than usual, you’ll get less of me! Rock on my brothers & sisters!
