Alternative Milestones presents:

Alternative Milestones Episode 14 – The Finish Line!

Sincere thanks to the supporters of WRIR for meeting and surpassing our fundraising goal during the 2024 Spring Fundraiser.  It was great to meet some of you at the various events last week, and we’re so grateful for your support in keeping WRIR on the air and thriving in the Richmond Community.

We’ve got birthday milestone tracks from Bloc Party, Haircut One Hundred, The Knack, and Romeo Void.

Lots of music from debuts in this week’s list of Alternative Milestones including The Stone Roses and Chevelle.

And so many great singles having milestone anniversaries this week – The Cure, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, XTC are a just a few of those.

It’s Alternative Milestones!  Live every Thursday from 1-3 PM, or listen online at your convenience.
