Support Artists During Covid-19 Pandemic on Bandcamp

  Quote

To raise even more awareness around the pandemic’s impact on musicians everywhere, we’re waiving our revenue share on sales this Friday, March 20 (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time), and rallying the Bandcamp community to put much needed money directly into artists’ pockets.

Good initiative!

one thing though, this pacific time thing. Would have been lovely if the rest of the world could join in their own timeframe. Would think that bandcamp would have a bit more international mindset. Now I have to check when, because my friday doesn't match with the other side of the planet. European Saturday early morning? That pacific friday might be mostly sleeping time, ffs.

I’m planning on putting out my new album early & discounting my whole discography for this. Well worth supporting any artist rn, because most of us are unable to work. 
 

I’ll post links to friends’ bandcamps on Friday as well.

Buy my shit please 

Give us your artist or label page links everyone, it's a good cause and a way we can support artists and each other right now.

Man, this caught on quick, I got like 15 new release alerts in the past 30 minutes.  People are thirsty, throw them some $$ 

picked up the new Heartwood Institute collab myself, no more budget for physicals after that for a while.

I'm working! So I don't need the $$, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on what folks are publishing! 

I fucked up and misread the announcement on twitter and bought someone's discography on Wednesday loool

Just sperged £40 on stuff thats been in my wishlist for a while.

Spread it out amongst artists and labels I love.

Peace to the world, sleep well and stay healthy.

I’m a compulsive Bandcamp shopper, so if you need suggestions : http://bandcamp.com/nilhartman

The top of the list is a bit crowded b/c of a recent sub to CO-DEPENDENT, but if you scroll down you’ll find more diversity.

Of course you can buy my stuff too (http://nilhartman.com redirects to my BC, Ellipses might appeal to the WATMM braindance aficionado), and you should definitely check @Stickfigger´s

If you haven't already, check out Holiday Sidewinder's Forever or Whatever. One of the very best pop albums to come from an Australian, and has collaborated recently with the similarly tongue-in-cheek likes of Kirin J. Callinan & Alex Cameron. Although she has a few actor parents like Aden Young, Claudia Karvan & Loene Carmen, so might not be as precarious as some others right now.

New Avon Terror Corps compilation raising money for homeless people in Bristol.Fully supported

Going all in on Ceephax, EOD and Colundi.  

Edit:  Bandcamp chugging atm.  I'll take that as a good sign.

I took a little off the wishlist, no time to listen though

sean stealing bandcamp's thunder lmao

dominick (hospital productions) just dumped a bunch of records on their camp page.

Holy crap, the sales ticker at the bottom of the bc homepage is crazy.

here's all the things i've bought on band camp ever if you want to browse.. though it's probably all stuff you are aware of. 

sahel sounds is offering 'name your price' on their entire discography. only thing i've purchased from them is uchronia

if you're unfamiliar with them, it's a label that focuses on experimental music from west africa eg. this bollywood inspired west african soundtrack

https://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/

Spun Out of Control entire back catalog is pay what you want today only:

https://spunoutofcontrol.bandcamp.com/merch

Since the weekend is over, what did you all but from bc either on Friday or throughout the weekend?

All the Perala's Spectrum, Hiele's Melodie 2020, Gabor Lazar's track off the Lapsus compilation, Catarina Barbieri's live recording, Kindohm and Renick Bell's releases on Outlines.

I'd have bought more if I hadn't spend that much prior to that, on BC I mean.

/confessional. i gave a few bucks to the new nameyourprice patrick holland release (below)... then i proceeded to open about 50 tabs of other music i wanted to support, then very quickly felt too poor to "pick" which artist to support.. Bandcamp doesnt tend to do regional pricing (not sure if its an option, compared to steam where it is?) which means that relative to wages in mexico, music releases cost at least ~4x more for me than they did in the USA.  And when finances are fairly tight I cant justify throwing 10usd at each release.

https://patrickholland.bandcamp.com/album/reality-picture

Yeah I bought some stuff.  Some CPU records stuff, a modular set from Lomond Campbell (whose stuff is brilliant) and the new Pye Corner Audio thing.

this whole situation is desperate for artists really.
