[OT] [Altrok] Update #136: New Music, Unearthed Classics, And Now DJ Shred!

[hubcity@...]

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.  You can find them at the bottom of our main page (and most of our other pages, too.)

Now then, in addition to the outstanding Altrok Radio music mix that got us an Editor's Pick nod at Live365 and at About.com, we've begun to add features we know you'll like...

Thursdays at 11:30am Eastern, Ferris O'Brien hops aboard the Altrok Radio signal to give you a taste of his approach to the world of alternativity.  He's bringing you the overflow from his own SpyRadio showcase at Rock 100.5 The KATT in Oklahoma City, itself the lingering legacy of 105.3 The Spy, a legendary indie station in its own right that disappeared one night.  No reason to quit just 'cause the station's gone, right?

Then at 1:30pm Thursday (approximately) you get to hear me showcase the new stuff we've added this week on the Altrok Radio FM Showcase.  New stuff, classic stuff, and Jeff Raspe with his Altrok Radio Underground Pick Of The Week.

Both shows are rebroadcast at 11:00pm Eastern.

On Friday, it's Altrok's Eighties Friday: music from the eighties that mattered then AND now.  An eight hour playlist that features some of the best that decade had to offer, drawing from all the music that was available at the time (yes, even from the seventies.)

And this week, something new: at 11:30am and 11pm Eastern Friday, DJ Shred brings you her classic modern rock set from Luke & Leroy's in the West Village, NYC - and she'll be manhandling the wheels of steel there in person that night, too.

Head over Friday evening - Luke & Leroy is at 21 7th Avenue South in NYC - and you can be a part of Shred's next Altrok set!

But for now - we've got songs to let you know about.
