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.

From a 1997 episode of a show hosted by David Byrne called Sessions at West 54th that I didn't know existed until today. This is a cover of The Flaming Lips song. I probably prefer the original version.

The entire Ben Folds Five edition of Sessions at West 54th is really really good. It was right after Whatever and Ever Amen came out, so the band was in peak form.
