2007-12-03 14:18:44 by wallofsound in Wall of Sound
 
...alternative and indie rock, folk and Americana tend to be in the margins of mainstream music radio in the US, but interestingly, they are particularly prominent in the programme schedules of the college radio stations I studied here . In North American radio, each of these genre terms cover a wide range of music, while still not embracing the...

...alternative rock. I dont think thats a surprise to anyone who has read this blog. I also tend to consider alternative rock to be a pretty huge tent. Punk was alternative in its day, as was post-punk. New wave was mainstream for the most part, but I still love it. But the 80s brought us the great American underground and college rock. It...

2008-01-11 05:54:00 by Scarlett in Things I Think About Music And Stuff Like That
...Alternative is a cohesive collection of tunes that feature deep bass, buzzing synths, and cool vocals from the man himself. Several of the tracks are absolute stunners: "Song Of Imaginary Beings" is a thing of beauty, "Nightlife" is a fast-paced club number, and "President" is a slow-burner that will lodge itself in your brain. All the songs...

2008-03-19 10:00:38 by Infonistacrat in The Music Blog of the Infonistacrat!
 
...Alternative Nation sometime around 1991. If thats the case, I was definitely an early inhabitant. Todays post is some of the great music that those of us in the Alternative Nation loved so much back then Alternative in 1990s Chicago meant listening to Q101, wearing Doc Martins, and for me, a goatee and a shaved head. I looked like Edward...

...alternative nation, and you know what? I really enjoyed it. It had been awhile since I had posted a strictly alternative post. That one not only was alternative, but it had a little attitude to it. So I thought I would do another list, and this time show a little of the diversity of the alternative scenes In that vein, I got a little bit of...

...alternative to AM pop radio where, in the contemporary critique from freeform radio pioneer Tom Donahue, the disc jockeys have become robots performing their inanities at the direction of programmers who have succeeded in totally squeezing the human element out of their sound (1967: 2 These freeforms of music radio returned the control of...

A WEEKEND OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC, DAY TWO

...alternative music weekend. Once again, I tried to represent a broad spectrum of alternative acts, from the funk of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, to the great Seattle sound of Nirvana (twice!), Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog to some good old fashioned Lo Fi goodness of Yo La Tengo. Ive tried to list stuff from throughout the 90s, and even the as...

...alternative radio. As I said yesterday, the music here is pretty typical of the stuff you would have heard on alternative radio in the 90s. Its all great stuff, to be sure. The highlights today include the Pumpkins, the Babes in Toyland (in keeping with my infatuation of the Riot Grrrl scene from the 90s), and for sure the Frank Black song,...
