Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 78 – Tickets!

Thu, Jul 24, 2025

During today’s show I’ll be giving away a pair of tickets for the Modest Mouse/Flaming Lips show coming up on August 3rd (a week from Sunday) so keep your ears on your radio and your dialing fingers loose.

I’ll be starting today’s show as many have over the last couple of days, with a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne who we lost on Tuesday.  Fly high, Prince of Darkness!

There’s another in Memoriam track from Big Star, birthdays to celebrate featuring music from XTC, System of a Down, M.I.A., Bauhaus, The Pogues, Fitz and the Tantrums and The Catherine Wheel.

I’d I’ll be training a new DJ as well, so we’ll hear from him too.  Gonna be a full show!
