It is extraordinarily hard to take the host of this podcast seriously about his statement of "I'm an old guy, I used to call BBSes" and 10 minutes later debate whether pronouncing ASCII as "assy" is correct or not, he's not entirely sure.
Most corporations can’t be bothered, but it is entirely possible to be both a successful company AND not shifty & exploitative towards artists. For example... https://t.co/1Tuw6zsEN0— Mark Erelli (@MarkErelli) December 16, 2020
A model that has long worked, a company that used 2020 to outdo itself in standing up for indie artists. 👏 #BandcampFriday https://t.co/wbYTJlzGhT— Patch .🎶.🎧.💙.💛 (@PatchFrasr) December 16, 2020
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. https://t.co/1LWHPH6cJc— Hotel Neon (@hotelneonmusic) December 17, 2020
BANDCAMP APPRECIATION TWEETthanks for establishing @bandcamp fridays. thanks for employing a great editorial dept. thanks for a thoughtful outlook on unranking lists of albums. thanks for supporting independent artists in the most direct way possible.— Steve Reidell (@hoodinternet) December 18, 2020
I love when I order something through @Bandcamp and when it arrives it's obvious that it came directly from the artist, not just a record label. Often with a handwritten note. Those are things I will treasure a lot more than CDs from Amazon.— Scott Smith (@NashvilleSES) January 27, 2021
Bands on @Bandcamp: "Pay what you want!"Me: "Haha, you absolute fools!" *pays a minimum of $5 for a single track, or $25-30 for an EP* "Now you must accept all this money!"— Andrew Weldon | he/him (@kungfusquirrel) January 28, 2021
This is a huge milestone, reflecting an indescribable impact on independent music. Thank you for continuing #BandcampFriday into 2021, @bandcamp. https://t.co/iBBqAD1yFp— A2IM (@a2im) February 5, 2021
It’s hard to keep from getting emotional and sentimental on @Bandcamp days... because it’s just is so remarkable how supported we continue to be by our fans—.When touring isn’t an option—this is keeps us afloat. And we are so grateful.— DEEP SEA DIVER (@deepseadiverbnd) February 6, 2021
I would not even be able to support a pet turtle with what i make on Spotify they’re only out to exploit artists. @Bandcamp , on the other hand, has been amazing. i regularly use my bandcamp money to buy groceries.— jeremybastard (@jeremybastard) February 23, 2021
I am absolutely and irrevocably addicted to the feeling of getting “Cha-Ching!” subject line emails from @Bandcamp— Ben Seretan 🦗 (@BenSeretan) March 1, 2021
#BandcampFriday is just one example of all the ways Bandcamp makes life easier as an indie musician.✌️ Stay heckin' awesome @Bandcamp 💜— 🎵👾 Kemikziel 👾🎵 (@Kemikziel) March 5, 2021
@Bandcamp Just discovered your incredible website. I can virtually choose any music genre/combination I personally like. And I can make purchases. Just a brilliant site. Thank you, James— James Thomson (@jamesthomson69) March 18, 2021
Food $200Rent $800Bandcamp Fridays $3,600Utility $150Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. My family is dying...— Eña (@e_naaaaaaaaaa) April 20, 2021
More than that, @bandcamp don't pocket the money for a few months before paying it out in bigger chunks. The artist gets it the next day. So sales today = groceries and/or rent payments tomorrow. It's not 'like it was in the old days' - for artists, it's WAY better than that :)— SoloBassSteve 🎧 🚵🏿♀️ (@solobasssteve) May 7, 2021
