It’s Bandcamp Friday this week, Friday 6th of Feb.

“On Bandcamp Fridays, we waive our revenue share so artists and labels receive more of the money from every purchase. Over the last five years, these days alone have contributed more than $150 million to independent musicians around the world.”

When you buy music on Bandcamp you get to download the mp3s (if you want), and artists get about 80% revenue from sales. It’s a crime that they’ve been flying under the radar for so many years, while massively exploitative shit piles like Spotify dominate.

If you’re wondering what to buy on Friday… take inspiration from the human curated weekly radio shows https://bandcamp.com/radio or editorial lists https://daily.bandcamp.com/?from=hp_feat_ed_more
