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...

Mondays at 11:30am Eastern (with a preview at 0730 GMT) 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:

 - The Black Keys
 - The Kooks
 - The Locarnos
 - Look See Proof
 - We Are Scientists
 - The Blacks

Plus we've got newly-added music:

 - Joe Jackson - King Pleasure Time
 - Kara Keith - Kick This City
 - Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong - Lonely Buoy
 - The Mae-Shi - Young Marks
 - Midnight Juggernauts - Shadows

 - The Whip - 'Trash'

Our Newly-Added Classics:

 - Marshall Crenshaw - Little Wild One (No. 5)
 - Dogs Die In Hot Cars - I Love You 'Cause I Have To
 - Dramarama - Out In The Rain
