[OT] [Altrok] Update #148: Schedule, Plus New Music & Classic Tracks

[hubcity@...]

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 tune in, here's what you can expect:

Saturday-Thursday:
------------------

     When we're not doing something special...it turns out we're always doing something special.  We're cycling through the outstanding Altrok Radio music mix that got us an Editor's Pick nod at Live365 and at About.com.  It's what put us on the map in the first place, and we do it well.  No need to hesitate - chances are we're playing something that'll challenge you in all the right ways, right now.

Thursday Specials:
------------------

11:30am Eastern: Ferris O'Brien

     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?

1:30pm Eastern: The Altrok Radio FM Showcase

     Sean Carolan (often referred to editorially as "me" or, occasionally, "we") showcases the new music 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...

9:30pm Eastern: Ferris O'Brien

Friday Specials:

All Day: Altrok's Eighties Friday

     Altrok's Eighties Friday features 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.)

11:30am Eastern: DJ Shred

     It's New York's own DJ Shred and her hand-picked set filled with classics from the darker and more challenging corners of the Eighties.  You'll be able to join her in March as she creates her next Altrok set live:
