Altrok Radio Music Update #222

by Altrok Radio

We've spent a lot of time keeping up with the demise of G Rock Radio (there's much more at altrokradio.com if you're reading this via email) but we've also got to keep focused on our primary reason for being; new music and alternative classics. Here's the particulars:

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 in the interest of keeping you interested...we've got songs to let you know about.

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

- School Of Seven Bells
- Fight Like Apes
- The Cure
- Love Is All
- The Hundred In The Hands
- White Lies

Plus we've got newly-added music:

- The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
- Detachments - Fear No Fear
- The Good Natured - Warriors
- HTRK - Ha!
- I (heart) Hiroshima - Surgery
- Its A Buffalo - Marbles
- Japanese Motors - Regrets A Paradise
- Little Comets - One Night In October
- Monsters Are Waiting - I Wanna Be Adored
- Skint and Demoralised - The Thrill Of Thirty Seconds
- The Soft Pack - Nightlife
- Vivian Girls - Where Do You Run To
- Wintersleep - Archaeologists
- The Wonder Stuff - Ten Trenches Deep

Our Newly-Added Classics:

- Devo - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
- Thomas Dolby - Flying North (High Altitude Extended Play)
- Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy - Kiss Me
- Icehouse - We Can Get Together
- The Jam - Absolute Beginners
- Killing Joke - Love Like Blood (Gestalt Mix)
- New Musik - Sanctuary
- Sonic Youth - 100%
- U2 - Stories For Boys


And don't forget the R/SYN Underground night, every Saturday at the Corner Tavern in New Brunswick, where Drew and IronMike keep you dancing with the most advanced playlist this side of the Atlantic (and where, occasionally, yours truly might show up and spin a coupla tracks...ya never know.)

Plus: the Melody Bar Reunion at the New Brunswick Elks, Saturday, February 21. Book a room at the Hyatt Regency for only $99 that night, and get your Mel on. (Melon?)

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.)
