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! 🎶

Hey everyone! I have volunteered to make this weekly post for the foreseeable future since ren already does so much for this community.

This week we have another choice from ren, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips! Whether this is your 1st or 100th time listening to this album we want to hear your thoughts.

Tell us what you like about this album. Tell us what you dont like about it. Tell us a story you have about it or a memory it triggers!

And then tell us what albums you want to discuss next! I have picked for next week but I don't want ren and I picking every week so let's hear some suggestions!

Upcoming

10/17 - Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988)

10/24 - TBD

Week 1

Disclaimer: First of all I apologize if you are seeing this post more than once. Moving forward I intend to make this post on Tuesdays. In fact I made this exact post Tuesday and again Wednesday this week from my midwest.social account but there appear to have been federation issues and it wasn't showing up outside that instance. So I made a lemmy.world account today to redo the post again.

I remember telling my wife during Flaming Lips at Big Day Out that I want Do You Realise played at my funeral. 20-ish years later I still feel the same.
