RoCM Penultimate Playlist: 03 Jan 2026

Bybryan

So I didn’t announce this on the show today as I had not yet entirely made up my mind, but next week will be the final show of The Return of CoolMojo for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, this will just be a temporary hiatus and I will come back at some point – but as the old saying goes, “God laughs when you make a plan” so we will see what happens.

I’ll have more to say about the reasons next week. Believe me – this wasn’t an easy decision and I have spent a fair amount of time fretting over it.

Here’s the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
