Altrok Radio's New Music 067
by Sean Carolan
Altrok Radio adds Nine Inch Nails, British Sea Power, New Order and much much more...
You can hear Altrok Radio on the web all day long in CD-Quality MP3Pro at the Altrok Radio page, but if you want the concentrated new stuff, here's where it can be found:
On the radio Fridays, 10pm to Midnight Eastern at 90.5 The Night, Lincroft, NJ
On the radio Tuesdays, 6am to 8am Eastern at WRSU-FM 88.7, New Brunswick, NJ
On the web Wednesdays, 8pm to 10pm Eastern at Altrok Radio
On the web Thursdays, 12pm to 2pm Eastern at Altrok Radio
On the web Fridays, 1pm to 3pm Eastern and 1am to 3am Friday Night/Saturday Morning at AsburyMusic.com
Altrok Radio plays new music the way Independent Alternative radio once did. We don't throw on the latest cookie-cutter rap/metal outfit that's being marketed as "alternative". But if it's new, it's interesting, and it's challenging, it's on our stream. (And we'll play older stuff that's interesting and challenging, too.)
Update 3/22/05: Here's the latest adds for the week:
LCD Soundsystem - Too Much Love
Julian Cope - I'm Living In The Room They Found Saddam In
New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call
The House Of Love - Days Run Away
Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass
British Sea Power - Oh Larsen B
Long-View - When You Sleep
The Subways - Oh Yeah (Acoustic)
The Dresden Dolls - Coin Operated Boy
Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds
The Bravery - Swollen Summer
What Made Milwaukee Famous - idecide
Neko Case - Loretta
Each week, Jeff Raspe picks an outstanding track from a brand-new album. This week, the pick is:
Like Moving Insects - Fishing With Hounds
And in our Grinder this week...
The Fiery Furnaces - Single Again
VHS Or Beta - Night On Fire
The Go! Team - Huddle Formation
The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
Interpol - C'mere
The Suicidal Birds - Summersetsun
Live365's editors made us the Alternative Editor's Pick in May 2004, as did About.com, so there's a small but growing group of people that count on us for the best new music we can find, and the best classic alternative dredged from the canals of our (rapidly fading) memory.
So, in short, you can listen to Altrok Radio in 64k MP3Pro here...

(and remember: on weekend evenings, the Muddy Channel is home to the Party Gone Out Of Bounds - the perfect soundtrack to the kind of house party you thought only existed in old John Hughes movies. Try it and see!)
