Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 1 – Hi, Richmond!

Thu, Feb 1, 2024

It’s time for the kickoff of Alternative Milestones, my weekly show celebrating the history of Alternative Music by highlighting the people, the events, and the music having milestone (5,10,15,20 etc) anniversaries each week.

A sampling of this week’s milestones includes birthdays for The Ramones, The Cure and Skinny Puppy. Music release anniversaries include Joe Jackson, Tori Amos, Green Day and Boy Harsher. And there’s a sad milestone that inspired an Alternative Classic!

Every day I post all of the milestones on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DrJayOnTheRadio/
