Alternative Milestones Episode 97 – December’s Here!
Yep, it’s here! In addition to the usual milestone anniversary celebrations we do here on the program I’ll be starting to infuse some holiday spirit with today’s show and throughout the month. Not too much… just enough.
I do have some great milestones to tell you about, including birthday tracks from Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Icehouse and Billy Idol. And we note the 10th anniversary of the passing of Scott Weiland.
And the giving season kicks off with a ticket-giveaway! I’ll have 2 passes to see The Dream Syndicate on Sunday December 14th, playing the final date of the US leg of their world tour celebrating their Medicine Show album.
