Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones – Episode 85

Thu, Sep 11, 2025

We lost another legend this week with the passing on Saturday of Rick Davies – co-founder, co-songwriter, co-lead vocalist with Supertramp.  We’ll pay our respects.

It’ll be one of 3 in Memoriam milestones this week, with the others coming from The Blockheads and For Squirrels.

Birthday celebrations this week include Tropical Gothclub, 311, Aimee Mann, The (English) Beat, Keane, Cracker and Moby

Lots of other great music milestones too, as always.

Tune in to Alternative Milestones, where old favorites renew.
