Today On Altrok: Good Things, Plus The Daily Retro At 11:30am

As always, there's an eight-hour pile of tracks for you today. Here's how it breaks down:

- Six songs get repeated in that eight hours, so it's four hours between plays for those six songs. They're the ones in "The Grinder", in case you're wondering what I mean by that when I say it on the FM Showcase (which, by the way, is on 90.5 The Night tonight at 10pm.)

- The rest of the songs are set up so that there's one song per band - you don't have to worry about us oversaturating you with Green Day or what have you. (You might actually hear Green Day, mind you; they're a great band, but you'll only hear them once in eight hours if you hear them at all.)

- About a third of the songs are retro alternative classics - the rest is new stuff that gets us as excited as the old stuff did when it came out, and in the same ways.

So, apart from the bands on today's Daily Retro (a two-hour block which starts at 11:30am Eastern) here's who we're playing:
