5/11: 80's Friday...Plus DJ Shred, 11:30a/9p EDT
Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2006 1:33 am<p>[b]Today and every Friday[/b], you'll hear a big pile of the music we had available in the 80's, all day and through the night, in CD Quality MP3 Pro, on [b]Altrok's Eighties Friday[/b] at <a href="http://www.altrokradio.com">[b]Altrok Radio[/b]</a>.
<p>Got a slow connection? We've put it up for you in [b]glorious mono[/b] as well - check the "slower connections" link on the right of the page.
<p>We do it every Friday, and we do it with a lot of tracks you won't necessarily hear on your average "Eighties Rewind" special...and that's 'cause we were there, and the stuff that sold well wasn't necessarily the stuff that we keep going back to. "I Ran" and "I Melt With You" have been shoved out of the way to make room for some really good stuff (often including the good stuff A Flock Of Seagulls and Modern English made that got completely overshadowed by their "one hit wonders".)
<p>As if that weren't enough, [b]DJ Shred[/b] shares her fantastic collection with you today for two hours, starting at [b]11:30am Eastern today[/b], repeating at [b]9PM tonight[/b]...so if you're familar with La Shred's estimable preferences for things Joy Divisiony, Depecheish, and Siouxsian, you should be all set.
<p>You can [b]see DJ Shred live on Saturday, May 19 at Disorder[/b], a post punk extravaganza she's ringleading in lower Manhattan at the Double Down Saloon. Head on over to 14 Avenue A at Houston St. at about 10pm that night, and stay as long as you're able; she'll have you covered (musically, at any rate.) Check <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shreddie">her MySpace</a> for details. Ready...set...
