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! 🎢

Absolute banger of an album front to back

I completely agree however it might not be my favorite of theirs. I might like The Lonesome Crowded West even more.

Absolutely, and that says a fucking lot

My friend who got me into MM in the first place always argued over whether Moon & Antarctic or Lonesome Crowded West was the best album. I still think it's Moon & Antarctica, while he's lost his mind and says it's Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

I'm not going to fault anyone for saying that because that is also an excellent album.

What connects connects, right? It’s emotional, can’t help which ones really dig into your soul and grab hold and which ones float away to devour someone else’s.

Second time today I get to cook something from this album from this song in fact. The song you posted but still.

Well I'm sure you tell me you got nothing to say But our voices shook hands the other day. If you can't see the thin air then what the hell is in your way?

Put this on for a buddy last week while working. 'Bro, dark-hair girls love this stuff.' :p Amazing album, honestly.

That could be the greatest 1, 2, 3 of any album ever.
