Rock & Roll HighSchool
still every thursday from 10 PM to 11 PM (GMT).
Simon now hosts another show on FreshAir: "A Piranha Bay"
Rock & Roll HighSchool plays you the songs that define Rock from both the past and the present. After last year's phenomenally successful History of Punk, DJ Simon (who's still in need of a good on-air name) is going to undertake the near-impossible: summarizing Rock'n'Roll in seven short hours.
"With listeners from as far away as South Dakota, this show casts a brilliant perspective on Rock'n'Roll's history, playing out the classics as well as the lesser knowns." - Simon Vansintjan, DJ on Rock'n'Roll HighSchool
"Certainly worth a listen." - not The New York Times
"I have yet to hear a single bad song on this show." - Unknown
"Pretty d*mned good" - Your Mom
