Alternative Milestones Episode 92 – Halloween Fundraiser Show!
Today’s show will be a lot of things. It’ll be part Milestones, celebrating mostly birthdays including Neutral Milk Hotel, Barenaked Ladies, The Cure, Cowboy Junkies, Jamiroquai, Bush, Abandoned Pools and Billy Talent.
And it’ll be a Halloween show, with classic alternative Halloween-themed tracks to get your Halloween off to an early, spooky, creepy start.
And it’ll be a fundraiser show. I’ll be joined in-studio by William Estremera Jr, the host of the Stop the Madness Latino show that can be heard from 5-7 PM on the 1st & 3rd Monday of every month, alternating with French Kiss.
