Alternative Nation : The Fediverse's largest alternative and indie music community! All things alternative music, from 80s college rock to today's indie and all the amazing alternative music in between. Welcome home, music nerds!

Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

🎵🎧🎶

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

🎵 Let's get lost in the Fediverse's record store together! 🎶

@[email protected] posted an article about US College radio stations (read post).

I suggested starting a thread with some good radio station streams and podcasts (from where-ever)…so here it is.

My idea would be to include:

Name of your recommendation
Link to live stream, listen again page or podcast homepage
Brief description about why you recommend it

I will post a couple below to start off.

Edit - I just noticed that @[email protected], posted on this topic the other day, so check that out, too.

MainFM

MainFM is a little station based in a country town/city called Castlemaine, on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people, in Victoria, Australia.

My favourite/the only show I really listen to on this station is It's a Jangle Out There. Its web page has links to the archive of previous episodes to listen to and playlists of tracks.

The show is hosted by a long time acquaintance of mine who has played in a couple of really good, jangly indie bands. The most notable was The Sugargliders, who put out several releases on the legendary (to some) label, Sarah Records.

I haven't listened to the show One Crowded Hour but it looks like it could be one to try out, as well…and it looks like there are some other shows that would play interesting tunes.
