Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 127 – Live from Richmond, it’s Thursday Afternoon!

Thu, Jul 9, 2026

Many of the personal milestone tracks and event milestone tracks this week ended up being a live (or at least a live-in-the-studio) version, so today’s episode of the Alternative Milestones program will have a concert feel to it.  And we’re celebrating one of the most important dates in the history of punk music so it might get loud.

On the bill I’ve got live (or live-sounding) tracks from Alice in Chains, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Ramones, Depeche Mode, Haircut 100, and The La’s.

Other personal milestones I’ll be highlighting will come from The Doors, Barenaked Ladies and Angels & Airwaves.  And as always there’s a great mix of music release milestones to share with you as well.

So bring your lighters and get ready to sing along!
