Written Dec. 5, 2007 by Sean Ross in Content with 0 Comments
It's been a busy year for veteran programmer Joel Salkowitz. After unveiling his Original Hot 97 dance music format on the Web, he and Triple-A veteran Paul Marszalek have been at work on a new adult rock format, The Finest Rock, which Salkowitz describes as more tempo-driven, more accessible, and less reliant on "granola and Bierkenstock music" (e.g., Damien RIce, Lyle Lovett, Wilco, Ray Lamontagne, etc.) than Triple-A. Salkowitz will share a demo stream if contacted at NYFLYBOY@aol.com.

Jack Johnson, "Upside Down"
Joe Cocker, "Feelin' Alright?"
