Alternative Milestones Episode 84 – Kickoff!

Thu, Sep 4, 2025

After many months, the 2025/26 football season kicks off TONIGHT!  For people like me this is a very exciting time.

As for today’s episode of Alternative Milestones, it’s a particularly diverse playlist I have for you today.  Reggae, funk, punk, post-punk, Rock, indie, progressive, grunge, pop punk, singer/songwriter…

Birthday celebrations will include The Waterboys, The Jam, Skunk Anansie, The Mars Volta, Romeo Void, Sex Pistols, The Cure, and Soundgarden.  Whew!

Richmond’s own Sparklehorse makes an appearance.  Infectious Grooves, OK Go, Peter Gabriel, and yes there’s gonna be some Rush to celebrate as well.

It all starts Thursday at 1 PM – you know what to do!
