Loved Garbage when I was a 90s kid and I still love Garbage now. No Gods No Masters is an album that goes pretty hard and it's a whole double album.
Totally discovered Garbage from playing Gran Turismo 2 😂
I live in Manila and there's basically two seasons: hella rain vs no rain. We're in the hella rain period. This is when all the typhoons, monsoons, storms, floods, etc. happen and it goes on from June to November.
So to commemorate the middle of the rainy season, here's a live performance by Lola Amour performing "Raining in Manila". I'm not familiar with them but the song is a little jazzy and all the dudes crammed in that bus are totally all in sync.
Needles In The Camel's Eye by Brian Eno
Elements of this sounds extremely early 90s alternative to me. He was so ahead of his time.
I saw G-Idle in Manila. It was such a blast. Everyone has mad high energy and Shuhua shines like moonlight irl. She has some crazy glow and charm that translates better on stage.
My fav still has to be Mamamoo tho. Great sound, great energy, and watching the girls perform each other's solo songs melts my heart. Wheein performing Solar's Honey is everything.

Nothing wrong with liking pop but she has vastly more money than I will ever earn. I rather support indie or up and coming performers that won't take my financial support for granted.
Also helps to enjoy a wide variety of music so if one scene is getting overpriced or doesn't tour your area, you can still enjoy and support other acts.
Different song on the same album but Ghost has such a banger cover of Nocturnal Me
I feel like a moving target whenever I say I greatly prefer Echo & the Bunnymen over The Cure BUT I can't help it, their kind of 80s post-punk neopsychedelia is so good. Love all their albums from Crocodiles to self-titled, although I need to check out their later stuff.
Yessss link it to us!
I found Lemmy because I learned I could crosspost my relevant Mastodon posts to a Lemmy community. That's an easier way to get more posts, because I can get engagement from either Mastodon or Lemmy and it doesn't feel like I'm posting on a dead forum just to be forgotten about. Also I find myself checking up on that Lemmy community directly to see what other people are posting, because viewing the content from Mastodon is too messy.
Not sure if Antic Clay's Hilarious Death Blues is a concept album but man it's the darkest double album I've ever listened to, to the point that I would not recommend listening to it while depressed or going through some serious shit. It's a journey through an apocalyptic Americana and its very convincing in its beautiful hopelessness. It's Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian made into sonic flesh.

I had no idea this collab existed. Thank you Aussies for educating the rest of us 🙏
