Get A Kindle And Help Altrok

Here's something nice Amazon's done for its affiliate types...as you may know, Altrok is an Amazon affiliate, meaning when you go to Amazon through a link found here at Altrok such as this one and buy something, we get some of that money as a referral fee.

Now they have this cool electronic book reader called a Kindle, that has a display that kinda looks like ink on paper and reads like you're reading a book, instead of a computer screen, and when you want a new book, wherever you happen to be at the moment, it just kind of goes and gets it - you don't have to think about connecting it to anything to do it.

It looks like this:

Here's why it's nice for Altrok: they're actually passing us back 10% of whatever you pay for it...which means, not only do you get a nifty electronic doodad, you also keep Altrok running at the same time. (And Amazon gets a bit of free promotion. Hi, Amazon!)

And so, it's Christmas time...you've got lots of people on your list...lots of other people have you on their list...so if you all buy each other a Kindle, we here at Altrok will be able to buy presents for all our favorite people, too.

Like you, for instance - 'cause you know we're just gonna spend it on music to play for you...

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.)
