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.

If I may recommend - I'm a HUGE fan of old school R&B and soul, but once Sharon Jones hit the scene over the past 15-20 years, what I call "revival soul" has been so so so amazing! So many modern bands going back to the old sound! I have a spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5o3TgsTajPiYH1JUqLuAm6?si=1c45e206d663444c
But, if you aren't on spotify, try a pandora station built off Sharon Jones, Curtis Harding, Lady Wray, Lee Fields, The Tesky Brothers, Durand Jones, - ugh! so much good music!!!
@ren okay, this playlist is SO GOOD. So effing good!
And now I have a bunch of bands to delve more deeply into.
Nice work! #music #nowlistening #soul #revivalSoul
that's awesome and makes me so happy!!! While it's not Sharon Jones specifically, but I really am thankful for what she & the Dap-Kings and Daptone Records did to music over the past 20 years.
@ren I was going to ask for recs but here you are way ahead of me! ๐๐ป
(And yeah not a fan of spotify but I should be able to use #soundiiz to export your playlist and pull it into #qobuz) #music
Awesome! Soul revival is just ๐ฉโ๐ณ๐
@ren When they were on tour just before her death they played Santa Cruz CA, where I was living at the time, and I REALLY wanted to go to the show (even though I really didn't know anything about them at the time) but couldn't due to personal commitments.
I SO wish I'd been able to go to that show. -sigh-

I feel so lucky to have seen her 3 different times. Once before she hit, once after, and once more in NYC post-cancer recovery. Just amazing.
The first time we saw her we went down to Jacksonville and saw her in a dive bar on Super Bowl Sunday. Just 10 of us in the whole crowd dancing to get putting it all on on this tiny stage.
Amazing and unforgettable.
@ren Imported!
Perf!
