Altrok Radio Music Update #162

by Altrok Radio

Folks,

Firstly, the important stuff:

Altrok Radio is at http://www.altrokradio.com

Please remember to tune in whenever you can - every hour you listen turns into more visibility for the station; we show up higher in search listings, and such like that. And if you'd like to help us keep the stream running, check out the advertisers if they appeal to you; your interest actually helps fund us.

Now then, to be clear: Altrok Radio is free to listen to, and will be for as long as I can manage it.

But if you'd like to listen without advertising (we'll interrupt occasionally to tell you what's coming up on the station) there's a VIP program run by Live365. When you're a VIP, you get access to the commercial-free version of the station, plus all the ads on their website go away. Cost is actually pretty reasonable; the roughly-$15-every-three-months plan seems to be the most popular option. Here's the link if you're interested:

And yes, we get a small kickback on that - $1.50 when you sign up, and a penny or so about every three hours you listen. Not much, but we're a pretty lean operation; we'll take what we can get.

All that said, bet you're wondering what those new songs we've added are...

This week, our Grinders (the stuff we play heavily) include music from:

- Cribs
- Holloways
- Calvin Harris
- White Rabbits
- Maximo Park
- Los Campesinos!

Plus we've got newly-added music:

- Architecture In Helsinki - Heart It Races
- Cajun Dance Party - The Next Untouchable
- Club 8 - Whatever You Want
- Datarock - The New Song
- Editors - Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors
- Frank Smith - Throwin' Rocks
- The Go! Team - Grip Like a Vice
- The Long Blondes - Once And Never Again
- The Monolators - Strawberry Roan
- The New Pornographers - My Rights Versus Yours
- Reverend And The Makers - The Machine
- Spoon - The Underdog
- UNKLE - Burn My Shadow (feat. Ian Astbury)

Our Featured Classics:

- The Bangles - The Real World
- Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone
- The Cure - 10:15 Saturday Night
- The Jam - A Town Called Malice
- Primal Scream - Loaded
- Siouxsie And The Banshees - Cities In Dust
- The The - Dogs Of Lust
- Tones On Tail - Twist

As always, thanks for listening!

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
