But Enough About Us, Let's Talk About You...What Do You Think Of Us?

As the warm memory of the Melody Bar Reunion (hopefully the first of at least a few) recedes in the distance, we're left staring at the decaying remains of the party decorations, spilled drinks and odd bits of shredded ephemeral clothing that metaphorically populate what, for lack of a better term, we'll have to call "normalcy".

Yeah, post-reunion depression has set in. But we're in a "building mode", right? So the question is: what are you hearing these days at Altrok Radio that make you happy?

I'm all ears (and with a properly significant amount of time tuned in, you will be too) so feel free to throw a comment or two at me...and if you're looking for some bands we're playing to prime the pump, here's today's lineup:
