Thank you for stopping by! The Retro Attic is your 24/7 listener-supported internet radio guide to the music of 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 or a song request, then please use our chat widget in the lower right corner or the manual contact form below. Your request will be queued for play in at least 60 minutes if it is already in the station's inventory, or else I will receive an email copy of your request. Please note that those who contribute to the "tip jar" get prompt acknowledgment of their requests, even though I try my best to fulfill all requests that are excellent fits for the rotation. Please read the "Membership Special" post below if you're interested in submitting multiple song requests every day.

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!

THE CURRENT SERVER IS OFFLINE

Today, there is even more indication that it's time to either plead for my listeners to help get our new server up and running or else hang up the headphones. Our current server has a new batch of issues, such as a significantly lower overall volume, the disappearance of crossfading between tracks, and delays in song request queueing. The server hosting company continues to be unresponsive to its support tickets.

The current server is now offline while these issues are hopefully worked out. It would be too embarrassing to stream it now as it is; it sounds like a two-year-old programmed it!

The overall funds generated for the new server are quite low at this point, so I can't say for certain what the next step is going to be. Stay in touch and let me know if you can help us out.

MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL

MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL: A one-time $30.00 donation through the PayPal button on our webpage will give you the following benefits:

- One hour of your requests, twice a month. These will be customized into a block by me, and you can mix it up as you wish (top 40 only, minor charters only, album tracks only, an equal mix of top 40 and minor charters, etc.).

- Every other month, you get the opportunity to come up with a special show's theme (60 to 90 minutes).

- You can submit a triple play request on 4 days out of the week and a double play request on the other 3 days. I'm doing this so that I can get more used to the format of our upcoming regular airings of the noontime Triple Decker Music Club.

- Please note that the one-hour request blocks and special show themes must have a variety of artists. The radio gods tend to frown upon a bunch of songs played in a row by a single artist. The triple play and double play requests mentioned above can be by the same artist if you want.

I'm encouraging a collective effort of creativity and not having the programming be all about my sometimes narrow scope (in other words, I don't want there to be too much garage rock or sunshine pop). And who knows, with enough contributors/supporters, one day we could have a stream that would satisfy the most discerning of audio enthusiasts!

Non-members can make one request per day, but I strongly encourage you to join. I have expansion plans for the stations, and who knows, I may one day resurrect Retro AOR (The Retro Attic Of Rock) - I can think of at least a couple of listeners who would love that! Plans like increasing track storage and primo fidelity require more bucks than I can currently handle.
 
If you have any questions about the membership, please let me know either here or through our webpage. #MembershipBenefits #songrequests #themeblocks #doubleplays #TriplePlay #membershipspecial
