My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

'The Spice Must Flow' by EON

Album: EON

Theme: club

I thought I posted this pig but perhaps not; and if so here it is again.

I hear and see the lights, smell the smoke, and get lost in the rhythm of the club.

Dedicated to my former club peeps.

'Home' by Edward Sharpe

Album: Up from Below
Released: 2009
Theme: alternative folk funk

Warning: upon hearing, this song may be stuck in your head all day and maybe the next. It's hard not to like though.

Dedicated to Nicholas for the exposure and to Suz who doesn't let me forget it.
