Once again Bandcamp is waiving their fee again for one day.  Was thinking about giving this one a miss, having not even downloaded last purchases yet.  But, lots of reminders of cool stuff available coming through the socials…


Yes. I just bought some.
And. Haven't downloaded last purchases yet.

I didn't get anything back in March as I'd just bought some vinyl.  Definitely gonna give it a go this time.

I got some downloads of Live Records from Superchunk, Hold Steady, and 3 nights of DBT in Athens, GA, and then vinyl preorders of the new Bad Moves, and Phoebe Bridgers, and DBT "Stay 6 Feet Back Motherfucker" T Shirt.

It is all overwhelming.

Bandcamp steps up, spotify pull a stunt…

So this coming Juneteenth (June 19, from midnight to midnight PDT) and every Juneteenth hereafter, for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, we will be donating 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a national organization that has a long history of effectively enacting racial justice and change through litigation, advocacy, and public education. We’re also allocating an additional $30,000 per year to partner with organizations that fight for racial justice and create opportunities for people of color.

Not really my jam… but a number of Death Row Records including Dr.Dre’s The Chronic are up on bandcamp.  Seems like a pretty big deal for them

This is a great collection from Record Kicks with proceeds benefiting NAACP Legal Defense Fund.  It includes the track famously sample by Jay-Z from Hannah Williams and The Affirmations and one of personal favs The Bluebeaters take on Toxic.

All-Star Adam Schlesinger Tribute Album 'Saving For a Custom Van' Benefits COVID-19 Relief
6/16/2020 by Gil Kaufman



Sarah Silverman, Rachel Bloom, Nada Surf and Ted Leo contributed to the 31-track album.

It's fitting that late Fountains of Wayne singer Adam Schlesinger's friends and musical colleagues are remembering the prolific, wildly talented songwriter with a tribute album benefitting COVID-19 relief. The 31-track Saving for a Custom Van, out today on Father/Daughter Records & Wax Nine and available exclusively on Bandcamp, features Schlesinger's collaborators, tour mates, friends and fans offering up their versions of songs from throughout the Fountains of Wayne singer/songwriter's expansive career.

Schlesinger, who died on April 1 at age 52 due to complications from COVID-19, is honored by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-creator/executive producer and star Rachel Bloom, who reworks FoW's most beloved song, "Stacy's Mom" into a jazzy cabaret track. The album also features comedian Sarah Silverman teaming with Ben Lee for a folky take on "Way Back Into Love" from the 2007 movie Music and Lyrics.

Other contributors include FoW guitarist Jody Porter covering "Four in the Morning" from Schlesinger's other band, Ivy, while Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley takes on the power pop nugget "Radiation Vibe," Motion City Soundtrack do "Dip in the Ocean" and Nada Surf take a "Sick Day." All proceeds from the album will go to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which is helping music industry community members affected by the coronavirus pandemic

I was wondering about REM…but just an old live song
