Please, spread the gospel of rock and roll, of soul, of blues and roots and let's keep this train rolling in 2013. Listen to this one and share it as many ways as possible in this day and age of social media. In the end, you, the listeners, are the most important and the most critical piece of it. Let's make 2013 a badass year.
Thank you, sincerely

Desolation Angel Radio did throw a hell of a show on Thursday night. No, it had nothing to do with the supposed end of the world, we don't buy that shit or participate in that silliness, nope, Thursday night was the start of the Christmas weekend. I'd love to list all the bands and artists in the show, but instead just give a listen to our annual "Christmas music that doesn't suck" show. Have a safe and enjoyable very Merry Christmas. We most definitely won't be on the air Tuesday night, but we'll be back Thursday to wrap the year up.

Thank you for being part of the Desolation Angel family, for being a member of the congregation of the high church of rock and roll, and supporting music, and these artists and bands. It's important in this day and age of corporate homogenization. Please remember to share this freely and often as many ways as you can; FB, Twitter, Google +, email and all the different and various ways of communicating, and remember to go to these band's web stores and buy their CD's and go see them live.
