[OT] [Altrok] Update #143: Support Your Local Web Radio Station!

Wow ! Sparks ! And it's not "This Town ..."
This man has taste ......
A John Foxx-era Ultravox number eg Artificial Life or
Slow Motion would be cooler, though (sorry).

keep the stream running, check out the advertisers if they appeal to 
you; your interest actually helps fund us.

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?

classic stuff, and Jeff Raspe with his Altrok Radio Underground Pick

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.)

of the Eighties.  You'll be able to join her this Friday as she 
creates her next Altrok set at the club:
