At least it's only 18th months late! A list of music I loved from last year that you can purchase on @bandcamp so musicians don't need 300 million streams & the sale of a kidney to buy a sandwich.

I freaking love how Bandcamp goes about their business. One of my favourite Music2.0 startups.
@AcousticProg I think @Bandcamp’s a superb platform for musicians and fans alike and it’s continually developing new functionality for the benefit of all users. It’s an ideal home for a compilation album whereby people can easily check out the music of any of the artists and bands involved.
Sometimes I watch the the @Bandcamp "selling right now" feed for a few minutes and zone out so I can be reminded that there are people out there who still give a shit about supporting musicians, labels, and building communities.
Let's talk about @Bandcamp. bc has evolved over the past 18 months into a sales juggernaut for indie labels and artists. Plus, they have the best music editorial online - period. Their deep dive stories and daily picks could keep you engaged with music every day for hours. 1/2
starting* the year by compulsively buying music off bandcamp to fill the yawning pit of anxiety in my soul
Thank you @bandcamp Daily writers & editors for pushing back against consensus and helping to TRULY champion the kind of creative, inspiring music that still often remains hidden from the mainstream. If you need proof that musicIans are still dreamers.. https://t.co/v6wUz4qmUx
bandcamp has made finding new bands so easy and is how i constantly post about bands you’ve never heard of that eventually blow up
this might be obvious but the bandcamp app for mobile is kinda clean
why did i sleep on this
I was using the google drive app for music beforehand looooool
super honored to be on @Bandcamp top 20 of 2017. they've emerged as such a cool fresh voice that still feels like a great service to artists -- #bandcampdaily seems truly invested with helping ppl discover instead of trying to be some sort of brand for its own sake. luv it! https://t.co/WLG8wRfrAp
the understated nature of bandcamp's comms to its users never ceases to amaze me:
"hey folks just wanted to let you know we added a great feature to the application we made for you that you can use for free okay thanks please keep enjoying the music love you bye"
we've been there: myspace, facebook, reverbnation. but the cleanest way to publish music is really bandcamp. #cuttochase http://ow.ly/8Nn5
You’ve got to love @bandcamp a brilliant simple platform that really does support the artistic community. Its all about what it should be about, the music. I had a lovely chat with Andrew about the new album, listen in here https://t.co/UUnZmOmALH Thanks for the support guys 💙
bandcamp’s streaming app is lowkey gonna save music if apple will ever let people purchase albums on the damn app
Our Bandcamp revenue from yesterday equalled the streaming revenue that we made in our whole music careers up until now and thats the problem with streaming services.
I'd given up on making anything on music, but I just checked my bandcamp dashboard for the first time... and wow? Holy, wow, ok, I'm going to keep doing this, then.
Thank you to everyone who supports working artists!
@olivertraldi Open the closet door called bandcamp, new music falls out like ping pong balls
@jophieIuvr I USED to use my discover weekly all the time but got very bored of it because it only ever shows me things that are relatively popular.... i am however addicted to the emails bandcamp sends me every week about new releases in genres i follow ❤
@MrTomGray And at the risk of sounding like a broken record of my own, right now, the best place for that is @Bandcamp... They kept a whole lot of artists and indie labels afloat during the pandemic, but have been playing that role for over a decade. Genuinely life changing.
