I don't know if everyone knows Radiooooo by now, but I've been using it to listen to Palestinian music from different decades. It doesn't have a huge selection, and I know it doesn't do much good or anything, but I think it's also nice to appreciate some of the beautiful things made by Palestinians in the midst of this kind of tragedy.
And also it's just good music in general. You guys should check it out :)

A cool song that gives me unearned nostalgia
So I’ve been using the radiooooo app a lot and was listening to 80’s Ukraine today. This song came up for me a couple days ago and again today: Alice Theme 1, by Volodymyr Bystriakov (Ukrainian: Володимир Бистряков) composed for an animated adaptation of Lewis Carol’s Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. The film was made by the Kyiv-based film studio Kyivnaukfilm (Ukrainian: Київнаукфільм).
I love this song. It’s so good. It feels like video game music in the best possible way. The melody gives me such a feeling of nostalgia. It feels haunting but comforting at the same time? I love it. I haven’t listened to the whole soundtrack of the movie but now I want to.
Here’s the song:

And here’s the film’s full soundtrack:

I want to watch this movie now but I’m not certain if I can find one with subtitles since I don’t know Ukrainian. I’ll do my best to search though!!
I just thought this was such a cool song and it makes me feel things.

I was listening to 1980s Switzerland on this app yesterday!
I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

I was on radiooooo.com this afternoon, put on France in the 80's, and this song came on, and holy crap. The album cover is absolutely stunning. I was so flabbergasted when I saw it. Is it possible to fall in love with a picture?

Hi, as a music collector this is highly relevant to my interests! Personal recommendations include:
70s/80s Poland (esp. jazz, there's a whole thing about how jazz was repressed in Poland during the Stalinist era and the evolution of the genre after his death)
80s Brazil (nobody fuckin BOPS like Brazilian pop music okay?!)
90s Sweden/Norway/Finland (a lot of cool experimental folk/rock/electronica in this era, you're bound to encounter some Björk-like stuff in the process)
70s Philippines (^ spacedumpster above said it best, ANY COUNTRY's 70s music is bound to be fucking amazing)
60s Jamaica (especially recommended if you like ska/punk, now you get to hear the origins and what makes that genre of music so goddamn FUN!)
one of my friends found radiooooo which is a site that streams music from any country from any decade (well, most countries/decade combos work) and we’ve been digging going on a quest to find what is rad
so far the following is good
50s/60s/70s/80s russia
70s cambodia
20s japan
80s ethiopia
80s india

I need to reblog this once more specifically to emphasize how much nerdy fun Radiooooo.com is (from my list of resources for discovering music). For each decade, it will show you a map of the world THE WAY IT LOOKED IN THAT DECADE!
You can listen to music from countries that don't exist anymore! Try out 1940s Indochina, 1970s East Germany or South Rhodesia, 1920s Czechoslovakia or Mesopotamia, 1930s Dutch East Indies or Gold Coast, 1960s Ceylon!
You can even listen to music from the Titanic. Just move the map around until you get to the area of the ocean where the Titanic sank, and you'll see a tiny sinking ship, and you can click it and listen to the music that the band on the Titanic played.
Here are two absolute bangers I just discovered this minute, both of which originate from countries that don't exist under that name anymore:
"Watch Out!" by Wells Fargo (South Rhodesia, 1970s)
youtube
"Dilhani" by The Fabulous Moonstones (Ceylon, 1960s)
youtube
Wait I'm curious now. What are your grumpy old woman opinions on music consumption?
Hello friend, thanks for the ask! <3 I see you've discovered my "musicblogging" tag in the time it took me to get around to answering this, so hopefully that will go a little ways towards explaining the opinions in question. I'll try to keep this as positive as possible and not rant too much, but in a nutshell:
There is sooooo much incredible music in the world, in terms of both space and time! We've got recordings of music from a century and a half ago that's still available to listen to, not to mention absolutely everything since then. And you can find music from every country and culture and language in the world, too. It overwhelms me with emotion every time I think about it. There are so many people on this planet, and we have been making music for as long as humanity has existed, and for over 150 years now we've been able to encode the ephemerality of that deeply, magically human form of self-expression so that anyone else – any place in the world, or any time in the future – can hear it too. Connecting with each other over space and time, through music. That's fucking MIND-BLOWING. What an indescribable treasure.
And yet there are still so many people (often Americans, but the point of this post is not to point a finger at any country/culture in particular) who listen to only music sung in their own language, from their own home country, and made in the past... ten years or so. People who think music from the 80s or 90s is "old music". People who don't see the point of listening to a song whose lyrics they can't understand.
I dunno. It just makes me a little sad. Not that there's any "wrong way" to enjoy music – if you genuinely do like only brand new music from your own country and in your own language, and nothing else, that's fine. You do you. But I suspect many of these people aren't even aware of what they're missing.
I guess my wish for everyone in the world is that they get the chance to discover their new favorite song or artist or album, some piece of music that blows their mind or fills them with joy or comforts them in their pain, even if it comes from a place far away or a time long ago.
