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!

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.

Where to find ren:
Right at this moment, LCD Soundsystem in Soho Radio. I mostly listen to radio stations that have live DJs but are commercial-free, like WPRB Princeton, KALX Berkeley, BBC Radio 6, WFMU, KFJC, NTS Radio 1 and 2. That's my playlist of radio stations I cycle through.
As for the one individual song I am listening to the most - and this one has been THE ONE for the full past year, it's become my favorite song ever - it has to be "Zum Wohl" by Cluster, from 1976.
The more I listen to Krautrock, the more it blinds me like staring at the sun. Utterly incredible. Post-punk before Punk had even happened yet, they transformed the world. Even early Hip-Hop artists like Afrika Bambaata fell under its' spell.
Anyway, here's another Krautrock gem:
"Time" - La Dusseldorf.
