Altrok Radio Music Update #223

by Altrok Radio

Our G-Rock substitute, Altrok's G-Aid, has started the long path toward viability - go to the yellow player in the middle of the page and check it out. Right now it's just a 3-1/2 hour list of the kind of music G-Rock was playing when its plug was pulled, but with your help, it'll grow. Just keep tuning in - if we hit 1000 hours by Saturday, we'll build it some more.

Meanwhile, we're still focused on our primary reason for being; new music and alternative classics. Here's the particulars:

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 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:

- Lykke Li
- Gaslight Anthem
- The Soft Pack
- The Good Natured
- George Pringle
- Leaving L.A.

Plus we've got newly-added music:

- Lily Allen - The Fear
- Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around The Bend
- BlowUpDollz - Tell Me Today
- The Decemberists - The Rake's Song
- Eagles Of Death Metal - Wannabe In LA
- Metric - Help I'm Alive
- Mighty Fairly - Falling To Pieces
- Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
- The Phantom Band - Folk Song Oblivion
- The Prodigy - Omen
- Ra Ra Riot - Each Year
- The Race UK - I Get It Wrong
- Say Hi - November Was White, December Was Grey
- School Of Seven Bells - My Cabal (Robin Guthrie Mix)
- U2 - Get On Your Boots
- Steve Wynn - Manhattan Fault Line

Our Newly-Added Classics:

- The Church - Tantalized
- Lloyd Cole - Rattlesnakes
- Marshall Crenshaw - Someday Someway
- Front 242 - Headhunter V1.0
- Tommy Keene - Listen To Me
- R.E.M. - Pretty Persuasion
- Seedling - Get You 'Cause I Can
- The The - Infected
- XTC - This Is Pop


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.)

And DEFINITELY don't forget the Melody Bar Reunion, on Saturday, February 21. There's still a little time left to get in on a $99 room at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, too, so don't delay...

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.)
