TUNE IN For Naughties Non-Friday...It's Like Eighties Friday, But Naughtier.

We all live in the naughties.

(There's twisted logic here: "Naught" is a word for zero, and since every other decade in a century can have a good sounding name, the first decade should as well. "The Zeroes" and "The Oh-Ohs" might have their supporters, but for me, these are "The Naughties".)

So, as you well know, we do Eighties Friday every week, playing the best tracks in our library that the Eighties had to offer. Every non-Friday, we play the stuff we've got available right now, and we're trying to make it as good from today's perspective as Eighties Friday would have been from the perspective of those halcyon days.

"But, Sean," I hear you say (because of the voices I hear in my head,) "all of these new songs are weird and scary! How could I be comfortable listening to them?"

And the fact is, they *are* weird and scary. They're as weird and scary as the classic tracks we play all day every Friday were when they first came out...and you loved 'em then.

I see no issues here...(but then, I wouldn't)

Don't worry - every few songs, when you worry you'll never hear something you recognize, you will...'cause I think those classics still have a relevant place alongside the new stuff I've picked for Altrok Radio. That's always kind of been the point.

Maybe you'll hear a song that goes too far. Stick around anyway, 'cause the next one'll probably blow your socks off.

Stay tuned. See what's next. (That's why we're here.)

You know the place: http://www.altrokradio.com

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
