Pinfield On RXP Today, All Over The Place Otherwise

New Brunswick Legend Matt Pinfield has a trifecta of sorts going on this week. This afternoon, he'll be at 101.9 WRXP with Brian Schock talking about the stuff he's been doing lately...

Tomorrow (Friday), he'll have hosting duties at the Seaside Music Festival, specifically at Hemingway's in Seaside Heights...

Monday, he'll be co-hosting the 2008 Joey Ramone Birthday Bash on what would have been Joey's 57th birthday alongside "Little Steven" Van Zandt and Peter Aschner...[For ongoing updates, visit www.joeyramone.com. Net proceeds from the Bash go to support the Joey Ramone Foundation for Lymphoma Research.]

He might even show up Saturday at the WRSU 60th Anniversary Alumni Broadcast (though the NY Daily News doesn't necessarily think so...)

(And don't forget we're planning on presenting our own NextUnderground night at McCormick's in New Brunswick on Saturday - that's at 266 Somerset St, so come on by and show a little Altrok support...)

All this Matt-centric activity leads one to wonder whether there ought to be some radio somewhere in his future, hm? I know I'm tuning in to the WRXP broadcast...

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.)
