Hey!

Do you have any recs you'd like to make for bandcamp friday?

I have a small amount of budget set aside for buying music.

I'd like the bulk of it to go to an artist.

If you have a Faircamp or Bandcamp recommendation you'd like to make, I'd like to hear it.

I like blues, garage rock, 60s psych, and sci-fi shit.

I'll buy the first few I enjoy, and I'll boost things.

I'm more interested in #faircamp recs than #bandcamp recs, because a faircamp rec is always going to support an artist directly and a bandcamp rec is only going to support an artist directly today, but I'll take either.

#bandcamp #faircamp

@ajroach42 I'm not sure if this would count as sci-fi shit, but it's '80s, but not the actual '80s? What the '80s you would think it sounds like if you watched '80s television and movies with the sound off.

It sounds like driving at night through a cyberpunk city

@ajroach42 Also a bit borderline on the science fiction: Children of the CPU: https://childrenofthecpu.bandcamp.com/

I have one of the only copies of Back to B.A.S.I.C. in existence as I found it at a thrift store, and apparently they only printed enough copies for their families and friends- they were very surprised when I reached out to find out if I could get physical copies of their other albums or if they were doing any shows

@Canageek Not what I'm looking for today, but it's pretty great. Thanks!

@ajroach42 did you purposefully misspell the bandcamp hashtag, or is that slang for it that I missed? (Just in case it was a mistake and you'll get fewer responses)
