Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 71 – Live from Richmond, it’s Alternative Milestones!

Thu, Jun 5, 2025

While my time in Hawaii was amazing, I’m looking forward to being back in the studio today bringing Alternative Milestones to you live.

We’ll be celebrating milestone birthdays with tracks from The Clash, The Cure, Stephen Duffy, Paul Weller, The Strokes, Beabadoobee, and The Dandy Warhols.

We’ve got an in Memoriam track from Dead Boys.

I’ve got a couple of events in the history of Alternative Music to tell you about with deep tracks from Midnight Oil and Depeche Mode.

And the usual assortment of music release milestones include The Police, Peter Gabriel, Oasis, Ramones, INXS, Interpol, Talking Heads and many more.

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