Rocktober!
by Dion on Oct.03, 2010, under Music
Yes, it’s that time of the year again: Rocktober, that most sacred of months, where you slip-on your acid-wash jeans, grab a VB from the fridge and crank-up some Chisel, some Acca-Dacca, some Oils or some even some Crawl. Then you just LET IT ROCK!
For your enjoyment, here are 31 classic rock tracks—one for each day of Rocktober. I’ll be out in my Black Thunder all this month, handing-out Rocktober t-shirts and bumper stickers, so be on the lookout. I’ll also be giving my surf reports to keep you safe in the swell, from the only blog that triples your music: Triple WhimWham.
