Despite not releasing anything other than a single in April and an album this week, neither one on a BC Friday, we had one of our best years just from the traffic these days created. 1000 people who bought from us on BC provided 5 times the payout of our 300,000 Spotify streams.
bandcamppresstweetsYou really set the standard for how a music service can and should operate. Thank you, @bandcamp.
Yeah yeah yeah Spotify is a corporate exploiter designed to funnel wealth from indies to major labels. Now let's get on with celebrating the existence of @bandcamp whose editorials are awesome, who share fairly with artists and often donate their profits to charity #goodindustry
Always so much cool modern soul/jazz/traditonal music stuff on Bandcamp Radio I would never think to listen to otherwise
@catchmekarmaa Bandcamp is an essential tool. It doesn’t cost anything to add your music and it provides income! Our first couple of days on Bandcamp pay the cost of the release.
Just an appreciation to how good @Bandcamp is when finding new music
Not just the financial positives but to read all the credits and background to the record too
It’s invaluable for all those involved when making … and then listening… and then writing about music 🎶
@AndroidAuth Yup. Bandcamp all they way wherever possible! CD/Vinyl and a download I can revisit whenever I need to, more money to creatives and can download/play lossless format. Streaming is fine, but if you really love music you pay for it.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just got an email that if you download the latest @Bandcamp app you can now listen to your collection while offline! THAT IS RAD!!! TYSM BANDCAMP!
The whole Spot*fy tip jar thing is so wrongheaded because it treats music like it's some charitable cause as opposed to a material craft with expenses, budgets, etcetera. Once again, shout out to bandcamp for normalizing buying music.
Having worked with two digital distributors now, shoutout to @bandcamp for being consistently easy breezy to work with, letting me release music on my own terms, never giving me nightmares for fear of having my release get bounced back cause of some arbitrary rules. Love y’all ❤️
I gave out $100 in @Bandcamp gift cards for gifts this year because I love that website too dang much
thank you @Bandcamp for continuing to be the best site ever created for music distribution.
@Bandcamp has emerged as the most progressive, honest, equitable, rich music platform on the web. It’s became the closest thingn for me to buying directly from the artist. Sometimes i exhange messages with the artist. It’s a great feeling. thank you.
New @Bandcamp Daily layout is looking so so nice. Congrats to their team on the re-design and grateful always for the tremendous music writing happening there. Bandcamp forever.
@bandcamp has been leading me down the most rewarding musical wormholes lately. 🙏
You know what, owning physical media like vinyl or cassette has always been super, super important to me, but I get the same joy holding my new whatever as I get scrolling my bandcamp library, just looking at my virtual collection
I used to look forward to @Spotify's Discover Weekly because they played stuff I'd not heard before. Lately it's 90% familiar tunes.
Thank goodness I have the @Bandcamp Weekly each Tuesday. Algorithm-free music discovery can't be beat.
(beat... see what I did there!?)
@catchmekarmaa @Bandcamp is the best. It’s the only place that I make $. Money goes mostly to the artist, so it’s also where I make most of my purchases.
Food $200
Rent $800
Bandcamp Fridays $3,600
Utility $150
Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. My family is dying...
I think I'ma put all my crap up on bandcamp. Seems clean, easy to use, punter-friendly, etc. pay-what-you-like too, which is optimal.
If your music isn't on Bandcamp - i'm fully not interested - is that weird? I feel like.. if it's good, it would be on @Bandcamp
Yo @Bandcamp really the undisputed champ for supporting artists... literally who else sends you payouts on a SUNDAY 😍
Yo @Bandcamp is seriously the fucken best. Not only have they waived their fees previously during all this, and doing it Friday, they are ALSO doing it first fridays of June and July . I know a lot of people/labels who have been literally saved because of these gestures❤️❤️❤️❤️
