Altrok Radio Music Update #210

by Altrok Radio

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.

And when you do listen, you'll hear the outstanding Altrok Radio music mix that got us an Editor's Pick nod at Live365 and at About.com...

...and this week, here's what we figured was important to add to that mix.

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

- Dega Breaks
- The Contrast
- The Jesus And Mary Chain
- Violent Femmes
- Natalie Walker
- Wire

Plus we've got newly-added music:

- Attic Lights - Bring You Down
- Black Kids - Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)
- The Charlatans UK - Mis-takes
- Charlotte Sometimes - How I Could Just Kill A Man
- Crisis - Consequences
- CSS - Left Behind
- Cut Off Your Hands - Expectations
- The Faint - The Geeks Were Right
- Friendly Fires - Jump In The Pool
- The Futureheads - Walking Backwards
- The Kills - Last Day of Magic
- Ladytron - They Gave You A Heart, They Gave You A Name
- Ida Maria - I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked
- Pull Tiger Tail - Mary Jane
- Tokyo Police Club - Graves
- YILA - Astronaut (feat. Scroobius Pip)

Our Newly-Added Classics:

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.)
