FINAL! Edition Day 30!!! An alternative song that REMINDS YOU OF YOURSELF. - lemmy.world/post/4667127

I guess it shouldn’t be super weird to say one of my own songs that is about me would be a song that “reminds me of me”, right?

Fairy Eyelashes - “Better And Better”

Edition Day 27 - An alternative song that BREAKS YOUR HEART. 💔💔💔

There’s a song by Florence and the Machine on High As Hope called “South London Forever”, when she hits the line about it never snowing again, my heart breaks, about loss of experiences & also death for me. And while that’s not “love” heart break, I think what really saddens me is that idea of something being done forever, from life experiences, to life itself. lemmy.world/post/4486509

Edition Day 25 - An alternative song you love by an artist NO LONGER ALIVE! 💀🪦

lemmy.world/post/4371006

They may be dead, but their music lives on (and so does this challenge).

Let’s go to Morphine and “I’m Free Now” - Such an amazing and unlikely band (really??? a sax, bass, and drums? that’s it??). Gone way too soon.

Come join the convo on with us!

Edition Day 15 - An alternative song you like that's a COVER of another artist. -- WITH YOUTUBE PLAYLIST!

lemmy.world/post/3747215

Who doesn’t love a cover song??? Especially when it’s BETTER than the original?

This one should be real good today. Can not WAIT to see what y’all got. The hard part is picking just one or two! Here's one of my covers while I think on a fave.

Edition Day 14 - An alternative song you'd want played at your WEDDING

This one is pretty easy for me.

When my partner & I got married, I DJ’d our own wedding with a series of playlists for each part of the night. Then we gave out a mixtape that represented tracks from the night.

From there, every year on our anniversary, we make another playlist. We’ve been married 15 years, so that’s 16 mixtapes of music. (link in lemmy post)

If I had to pick 1 song, it would be the lead off song, Decemberists “The Crane Wife 1 & 2”.

lemmy.world/post/3684045

The Crane Wife story and then album were part of our relationship while we were dating, then the night the Decemberists came to town touring the Crane Wife, that was the night I proposed, then we went to go see them. We still have the concert posters from that night up in our bedroom.

So yeah. Easy one.

Day 12 - An alternative song from your PRE-TEEN years

Time to give away just how old you are, eh? Reach back, y’all! What’s an alternative childhood song ya love?

lemmy.world/post/3551817

For me? I got 2:

- Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
- Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey

Loved both of these songs so much when they came out.

: Edition - Day 4… An alternative song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget.🥺

lemmy.world/post/3125671

Challange four gets a little deep and dark. This one is tough. People I’d like to forget are probably mostly forgotten. But probably Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” brings someone to mind that was probably a pretty low point for me.

Good meowing fans! It's Tuesday, let's get weird on 🖤

After his prog rock days at Genesis and before his truly epic mainstream breakthrough (and wonderful album) So, Gabriel was weird & alternative AF.

His third self-titled album in a row, melty face one, now “3: Melt” introduced me to Kate Bush who also showed up on So. It's a wonderful & dark album. Gabriel always followed his own path.

Knee deep working on my own songs today, but Lucius popped into my mind randomly. Sharing a streaming link to 2013’s Wildewoman by Lucius on

Manchester Orchestra - The Way

They were just on Comedy Bang Bang and I’ve never really gave them much of a go before.

Might as well start with the new song (and EP) on
