it's a funny/juvenile concept, but the singer's tone-deafness makes it hard to listen to for more than 30 seconds.  i expect pitch-perfect renditions when singing about dicks.  mine certainly deserves it, considering what i put it through…

this is bonkers

On the first Friday of every month since March, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support the many artists who have seen their livelihoods disrupted by the pandemic. Over the course of these nine days, fans paid artists and labels $40 million dollars, helping cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and much more. If you’re among the nearly 800,000 fans who participated, thank you.

and they have more Friday's schedule for next year…

it's also remarkable how much is funneled back into artists and labels via bandcamp

If you’ve started to feel guilty about buying music on any day other than Bandcamp Friday, here’s something to keep in mind: on Bandcamp Fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). When you make a purchase on any other day of the month (as 2.5 million of you have since March, buying an additional $145 million worth of music and merch) an average of 82% reaches the artist/label. Every day is a good day to directly support artists on Bandcamp!

The early consensus is as long as Epic allows Bandcamp to continue as is, all is fine.

One positive is that Epic may bring in the needed muscle to take on Apple which is preventing Bandcamp from directly selling within the app.

Personally, I hope it all stays the same as it serves now as cloud storage for my purchases.. the thought of downloading all those zip files makes my head hurt… zip files are my nemesis

Hopefully all artists I support stay put

Bandcamp Friday could be the last one  :'(

part of me thinks i knew this tidbit about Super Furry Animals but there is now recorded evidence…

Actor Rhys Ifans in Notting Hill, Harry Potter and lately Spiderman was the lead singer prior to Gruff joining the band

anyways they have released a track recorded nearly 30 years ago

it's apparently only going to available for a limited time

Open your wallets, support the artists and this fundraiser on Bandcamp

This Friday, June 17th, we’re holding our third annual Juneteenth fundraiser, where we donate 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

And yes you can order physical products directly from the artists on Bandcamp

Whelp this a first for me.. bought an album off Bandcamp from a fraudulent account.  Hopefully, the artist can claim the sell somehow…

This is so messed up and WTF did Epic Games think they were getting when they bought Bandcamp.  Pretty sure Epic Games bet heavily on the whole NFT bullshit and are now cost cutting left and right.

Epic is laying off roughly 50% of the Bandcamp staff amidst it sale to Songtradr.  So much for respecting the Bandcamp Employees union.

Seriously why isn’t Bandcamp a not for profit company at this point, surely there are smart people that could take this on.

Hmmm not sure if it’s Epic or Songtradr laying off employees.. I hope any artists using Songtradr to do digital distribution, etc for them cancel that service because of this BS

Oh great Soundtadr doesn’t actually make money licensing music, they are kept afloat by borrowing money like all good tech companies… the future of Bandcamp doesn’t look so bright, now that have gutted their editorial department

Ugh word is artists are deleting albums from bandcamp, and of course zip files are my nemesis so I’m very behind in my downloading… so I guess WAV file’s because they can be converted or FLAC
