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.

"Lovely Day" radio (Bill Withers)

Actually yields a surprisingly good mix...

If I may recommend - I'm a HUGE fan of old school R&B and soul, but once Sharon Jones hit the scene over the past 15-20 years, what I call "revival soul" has been so so so amazing! So many modern bands going back to the old sound! I have a spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5o3TgsTajPiYH1JUqLuAm6?si=1c45e206d663444c

But, if you aren't on spotify, try a pandora station built off Sharon Jones, Curtis Harding, Lady Wray, Lee Fields, The Tesky Brothers, Durand Jones, - ugh! so much good music!!!

@ren okay, this playlist is SO GOOD. So effing good!

And now I have a bunch of bands to delve more deeply into.

Nice work! #music #nowlistening #soul #revivalSoul

that's awesome and makes me so happy!!! While it's not Sharon Jones specifically, but I really am thankful for what she & the Dap-Kings and Daptone Records did to music over the past 20 years.
