My deejay career started at eight years old on a boombox in my bedroom, and from there I deejayed for years on the radio as well as dances and weddings. These lists are hand-curated gifts composed of soul-shaping pieces. Enjoy however you like.
Rock and roll is not any of the boxes ever put on it; if lived truly, it is a philosophy beyond spoken truth effused with rhythm, rebellion, and love. As such, excelsior. \m/

D-Rock's Classic Rock Megalist
Foundations and iterations of the classic rock pantheon. From the Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin, to Floyd, Lizzy, and everything between. This comprehensive list is meant for parties and education; put it on shuffle, skip whatever's not vibing, and dive into what is, horns in the air.
D-Rock's Modern Facerocking Madness
A canon of the formative rock of my generation--Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Pumpkins--through to the present, with all iterations and personal faves planted through out. Shuffle, skip, and headbang at your leisure.
D-Rock's Ode to Frusciante
An in-depth appreciation of the artistic scope of John Frusciante composed of songs that resonated deeply to this listener, from RHCP and the Mars Volta to the satisfying breadth of his deeply spiritual, poetic, and experimental solo work.
D-Rock's Ode to the Monarch, Mx. Monáe
An ode to the Archandroid, the Electric Lady, Ms. Cindi Mayweather, Django Jane, the Queen of Black Sugar Beach, a beacon of transformation and liberation and joyous gratification, Mx. Janelle Monáe.
D-Rock's Ode to Plonk
Favorite songwriters don't just hook you with music; their spirit hooks your soul. That happened to me through the timeless music of my adopted middle-namesake Mr. Ronnie Lane. It's like we're all on a grassy hill right now, Ronnie strumming and laughing, birds chirping in the background...
D-Rock's Chapel of the Sacred TOOL
A spiritual journey through the darkness and light of the soul, a mirror of sacred selves, for which this music serves as a divine tool of excavation, discovery, and transcendence.
D-Rock's T-Rexcellence
May Marc Bolan's spirit live forever. \m/
