Thanks for stopping by! The Retro Attic is your 24/7 listener-supported internet radio guide to the 50's through the 70's. We play lost and classic top 40 hits, but we also place a heavy emphasis on the minor charters and non-charters...or as we call them, bottom 45's. Special Mixcloud shows will be announced as time permits. If you have a general suggestion, then please use our chat widget in the lower right corner or the below contact form. If you have a song request, then please use the below Song Request Form; your request will be automatically queued for play in 90 minutes if it is already in the station's inventory or else I will receive an e-mail copy of your request. Please read the "New Request Policy" post in the below blog for more information on requests as I have new rules for those who are willing to be sponsors and for those who are non-contributors.

If you appreciate what we do, then please make use of our PayPal buttons on the site. You can donate a one-time amount or choose from 10 monthly subscription amounts; the donations will help enhance our programming and keep us on Live365. Yes, The Retro Attic is legitimate and pays artist royalties!

NO SPECIALIZED SHOWS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The Retro Attic will spend July doing what it usually does: playing mostly seldom-heard records from the 50's through the 80's with occasional dashes of top 40 hits. Requests are always accepted through our webpage's form or through our Facebook fan and group pages(just go to Facebook and search for "The Retro Attic" - you will see 2 listings).

Due to my current limited spare time and limited listener response to them, I won't be doing any specialized shows until further notice. Realistically, the only thing I can see happening by the end of the summer is a rotating 4 hour block on Saturday nights. In other words, one Saturday night would feature 60's top 40 hits, the next Saturday would feature 70's top 40 hits, the next Saturday would feature songs that were played during MTV's first year, etc. These would strictly be music blocks with no commentary.

I can only put together specialized shows and dedicate more time to the station with your help. If you are a loyal supporter of my oldies vision, then please consider making a small donation through our webpage. There are a couple of perks involved when you donate a specific amount; just look for our Paypal button toward the top of this webpage for more information.

"GIL'S GILTIEST PLEASURES OF THE 70'S" - TOP 100 COUNTDOWN SPECIAL - VOTE IN OUR POLLS!

Sometime in early September, The Retro Attic will be doing a top 100 countdown special called "Gil's Giltiest Pleasures Of The 70's." You will hear nothing but lost oldies from that decade, whether they hit #3 or #93! I need your help in determining the countdown. Over the next several weeks, I will divide 100 selections into poll groups, complete with Youtube clips in case you forgot what these songs sound like. Group A is up now and is open until next Friday, July 4th. Vote for as many and as often as you like!

The poll can be found on this page just above our "Recent Tracks Played" widget.

NINE FROM THE NINETIES - 6/25/14 EDITION

The Retro Attic rolls out another edition of "Nine From The Nineties" today at 2 PM eastern! If you're expecting to hear a song about a kid named Jeremy or you're hoping that Radiohead leave you high and dry, then this show will greatly disappoint you! In this show, we play selections from the pop and AOR genres that, for the most part, were ignored by the masses. Artists featured include The Pursuit Of Happiness, Tesla, Material Issue, Timothy B. Schmit, Warrant, Crowded House, Billy Falcon, McAuley Schenker Group, and Mitch Malloy. You can hear it through our Stream Licensing player by going to http://retroatticrareoldiesradio.com/ or you can search for The Retro Attic in ITunes Radio or Tunein.com. We also take requests for future editions through our website.
