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! 🎢

Damn I remember when this came out, used to listen to it when playing Perfect Dark on the N64 with my mates

Good memories

Great taste in music. The Avalanches were my first exposure to what real sampling could do

[–] mPony@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

what do you think about Pop Will Eat Itself or Emergency Broadcast Network ?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I liked this song a lot more before I found out that a lot of the samples were taken from the same comedy sketch.

[–] mPony@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not just any comedy sketch, the original version from vinyl (not the version from TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRPXkrR_CmE)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The sketch is fine, it just made the song a lot less weird and cool to find out so many of the samples came from one place.

I put this on every so often on a family drive. Had it on yesterday, kids love it

[–] Confused_Scallup@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any one know of any similar songs?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Listen to the whole Since I Left You album please. It all blends together into one epic piece

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And they have a second album called Wildflower

Oh the memories.. Thank you op!

[–] pc_admin@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

This is a good one. :3

[–] goa_mpu@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

A big genuine "thank you", OP. I never knew I needed this in my life. I listened to the whole album right now and I love it
