RoCM Alternative July 4th Weekend Playlist: 05 July 2025

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone – and since the show is close enough to 4th of July, we’re bringing back the Alternative Fourth of July Playlist. Hopefully, you’re getting a long weekend and a brief respite from the horrors of reality.

Here is 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.
