Goodness...

This was hard. I'm a bit older now, grew up on 80s college rock and all that, but I'm Gen X so you know that means my birth year was a bit early for alternative-alternative. But let's go with:

Tom Waits - Hope I don't fall in love with you (1973 WOOF) https://youtu.be/EtLVXBqfqBY?si=49RWc51XP_tPXRqK

 

DAY 18 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

exactly, while not a duet, it would be super fun to sing with a friend at karaoke (and fuck it all up, surely)

[–] ren 5 points 2 years ago

probably my favorite Pulp song. So so good.

Yep. While technically being an Islamophobe isn’t racist, odds are the reason one is an Islamophobe has very little to do with them being Islamic.

are you from Long Beach, CA? I hear it’s still Sublime country over there.

[–] ren 1 points 2 years ago

it funny you chose “Alive”, I was thinking about coming back and adding that to my choice too. Truly a stone cold “Seattle grunge” classic.

Another fave! Hyped for the new one

https://beccamancari.bandcamp.com/album/left-hand

https://songwhip.com/becca-mancari/left-hand

On "Over and Over," the first single released from Becca Mancari's Left Hand, they relive an important, early phase as a queer and gender expansive person: They call back to the youthful disregard and fleeting bravado felt after they escaped the rejection of the religious world in which they were raised, found a new home in chosen family and an uninhibited way of presenting themselves. "There is something to the feeling / Head hanging out of the window / Being OK that we don't know," they insist breezily. "And we can have it like we used to / Over and over and over and over again."

That time in Mancari's life coincided with the start of their career as a Nashville singer-songwriter, which presented its own constraints. In that realm, they quickly learned that sharp lyric writing, brisk storytelling and clever wordplay are celebrated above most other creative achievements, and production is treated as the job of an entirely separate set of professionals, usually men. They debuted with the rustling, arid folk-rock of 2017's Good Woman, then drifted toward avant-pop fluidity with The Greatest Part. With longtime collaborator Juan Solorzano, Mancari cast off restrictions and finally produced themselves on Left Hand, creating their most expansive work yet.

Thank you for everyone’s replies in the song challenge thread - https://lemmy.world/post/3747215 - here it is, our communities favorite cover songs!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY and HAPPY LISTENING!

 

Today we start the 2nd half of the challenge!!! DAY 16 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

The way I read this one is, what’s a song that’s generally accepted as a CLASSIC alternative song that you love? ICONIC. THE standard for a band or moment or for the genre.

An obvious example would be like Nine Inch Nails “Head Like A Hole” - their breakthrough classic that’s pretty much synonymous with NIN.

Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
