After seeing various name changes since it's conception
nearly 1˝ years ago, come March 2007 – TRAXXfm's music
genre based show TRAXX Selecta on Thursday nights will
finally settle on a name: ALTERNATION – a word that
derives from the meeting of ‘alternative’ and ‘nation’.
Together it forms a music programme that blends the
various forms of ‘alternative’ music from indie, punk,
new wave and other sub-sub genres.
At
the helm of all the music mayhem is Maya & Lola. Two
ladies who make the ‘rock’ and ‘roll’. Every last
Thursday of the month is LOMUS (Local Music Spotlight).
This is when local underground musicians come in for a
chat, play a live number in the studios and hand-pick
the musical selections. Past guests have been Azmyl
Yunor, Lied, Butterfingers, Ferns – just to name a few.
ALTERNATION rules the airwaves every Thursday night from
10:00 pm to 1:00 am. It features music from abroad as
well as Malaysia's very own local underground music.
Listen to the musical likes of the Smiths to Depeche
Mode to Bad Brains to Tori Amos.
