Just had a great suggestion from @[email protected] - how about we start a "book club" but for alternative albums! Apparently our friends over at HipHopHeads has started one. I think that sounds splendid!

Sound good?
YOUR ALBUM ASSIGNMENT: REM - Automatic For The People
The band that is our community header that kicked off a 1000 alternative bands of their own. After taking college rock and literally kick starting the "authenticity" alternative music boom of the 90s, REM returned with this brooding dark album.

First thread will be next week!
Have fun and get listening!!!
Feel free to DM me or any mod suggestions.
yeah, just posted one! Instead of 2 threads, just did the one. But also, would love suggestions!!!
Awesome! I think it would be a good idea to include a schedule for future weeks on the weekly post. Take a look at how hiphopheads is doing theirs.
Also can we set up an external group chat between you, me, and the other mods where we can discuss this and other community stuff? Lemmy direct messages don't seem to be great and I don't want to fill these threads with community discussion
