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! 🎶

@[email protected] posted an article about US College radio stations (read post).

I suggested starting a thread with some good radio station streams and podcasts (from where-ever)…so here it is.

My idea would be to include:

Name of your recommendation
Link to live stream, listen again page or podcast homepage
Brief description about why you recommend it

I will post a couple below to start off.

Edit - I just noticed that @[email protected], posted on this topic the other day, so check that out, too.

3RRR (AKA Triple R), Melbourne, Australia

Live stream at their home page
List of programs that can be listened to, on demand.

Starting off as the station of RMIT (University) in Melbourne with an Educational licence in 1976, it became closely associated with the Melbourne post punk and new wave subcultures…e.g Nick Cave etc. It's now part of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia and funded by community sponsorships and public subscribers (I am one). It's not just music and there's a lot of variety, with talk/educational shows on subjects ranging from marine biology, gardening, the arts, cooking, philosophy, science and lots in-between.

Here are some specific music shows that might suit this community that you can listen to on demand:

Local And/Or General. Australian and NZ music
Respect the Rock
Teenage Hate. Punk, garage, hardcore, noise and psych with an emphasis on Australian releases and bands
The Australian Mood. New and old Oz stuff
The International Pop Underground
The Distant Sky AU/NZ music
The Golden Age of Piracy Eclectic stuff featuring influences of guests of the show
Live Wire. Live music
Far and Wide UK Indie
