Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

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.

Huge archive of John Peel Sessions. Hundreds of artists between the 60s and 2000s played live on Johnโs Radio 1 show in the UK including many, many alternative and indie acts.
Hereโs one of my favourites, PJ Harvey playing Shela-na-gig in 1991:
Holy balls!!!
This is an amazing deep dive. Damn.
I had no idea there were so many complete Peel Sessions on YouTube. But somehow I'm not surprised, that site truly is like The Jukebox Of Alexandria.
Smashing pumpkins released a few tracks from their Peel Session, would be cool to know if there were more songs recorded but not on that release. Thanks, this is a very cool archive!
Thank you, this is brilliant. Met John a couple of times, real nice bloke - still miss him.
So far, I've saved three posts on lemmy. This is #4. Thanks OP!
