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.

Absolute banger of an album front to back

really need to dig back into their discography

I completely agree however it might not be my favorite of theirs. I might like The Lonesome Crowded West even more.

Absolutely, and that says a fucking lot

My friend who got me into MM in the first place always argued over whether Moon & Antarctic or Lonesome Crowded West was the best album. I still think it's Moon & Antarctica, while he's lost his mind and says it's Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

I'm not going to fault anyone for saying that because that is also an excellent album.

What connects connects, right? It’s emotional, can’t help which ones really dig into your soul and grab hold and which ones float away to devour someone else’s.

Different albums of theirs hot harder at different times. The lonesome crowded west has really resonated with me for a few years as I go through some emotional turmoil

that's what I love about art. The heart wants what the heart wants, no math or objectivity about it. What I love about music, being an audio art form, is that it leaves the visual connection to your brain and what happens in there while you listen is your own unique experience.

Second time today I get to quote something from this album from this song in fact. Not the song you posted but still.

Well I'm sure you tell me you got nothing to say But our voices shook hands the other day. If you can't see the thin air then what the hell is in your way?

Makes me nostgalgic for things that never happened.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That could be the greatest 1, 2, 3 of any album ever.

Put this on for a buddy last week while working. 'Bro, dark-hair girls love this stuff.' :p Amazing album, honestly.
