RoCM Playlist: 04 Jan 2025
Welcome to 2025 everyone – and Happy New Year. This week, unfortunately, got away from me a bit as I had some professional obligations that had to take priority so this show – while musically solid – was thrown together last minute. Hopefully, next week will be a bit quieter.
Here is the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
