Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 70 – Exotic Kauai

Thu, May 29, 2025

Today is my 2nd (and hopefully final) prerecorded show.  As with last week, time constraints led to fewer facts and stories but more music.

Our birthday celebrants this week are (The London) Suede, Doves (double milestone), Psychedelic Furs, Simple Minds and Mystery Jets.

A few old favorites made the playlist today: Graham Parker, The Catherine Wheel, XTC, The English Beat and Talk Talk are just a few of those.

Here’s to drama-free travel!
