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...

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.

Ahhh Primus. The band I liked as a kid because they were funny and then growing up to realize they are incredible musicians. The albums Claypool did with John Lennon's son a few years ago are pretty good if you haven't listened to them yet.

You should also check out Oysterhead. (Supergroup with Claypool, Trey Anastasio (Phish guitarist) and Stewart Copeland (Police drummer))!

Copeland and Claypool in the same group?! Why didn't I know about this until now?

Everything with Copeland needs to be more prominent, IMHO. I always marvel at the just 3 snare hits in Walking on the Moon.
