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.

Where to find ren:
Oh dang! For years, I hosted a local music radio show. Usually having the artists in to perform live, but sometimes just playing recordings. I've had to step away some in the last few years for my own sanity.
We have a lot of great music up here in Maine and I'm always interested in hearing what is happening elsewhere. Will definitely check this out.
Thanks man! It's too bad you had to step away. We're in desperate need of MTV style shows. Corporations are basically dictating what even hears and they've moved to "safe" mode. There are few options to find groundbreaking stuff.
Thankfully, the show existed long before me and the station is committed to keeping it on air.
So it was actual radio? Thatโs pretty cool.
Yeah. Here's a bit of a set, I'm the awkward guy talking at the beginning.
Very cool man! Is there still a YouTube channel for the station. It seemed like most those videos were 10yrs old.
Check out our show tomorrow I have a live band called Die Tired in starting at 11am. The play hard rock grunge type music.
I got lucky to have a film student doing work study for a while, but aside from the handful he did, all other video is really from the guests themselves. But the show audio is posted online each week if you ever want to check it out - https://www.wmpg.org/show/wed1930/
Looking forward to digging into your show!
