[OT] [Altrok] Update #180: Support Your Local Web Radio Station!

[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.

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 added features we know you'll like...

This Wednesday at 11:30am Eastern (and repeated at 9:00pm), DJ Iron Mike, a partner-in-crime on our Running W/Scissors night at the Court Tavern this coming Thursday, pulls in a compelling series of beats on "Aural Pleasures" - two hours of the throbbing stuff for your pulse-quickening pleasure.

Thursdays at 11:30am Eastern (and repeated at 9:00pm), you get to hear Sean Carolan (often referred to in these dispatches as "me") showcase 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...

And 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.)

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



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

 - Cut Off Your Hands
