I just bought some music off of @bandcamp
It was the first pleasurable online shopping experience I’ve had in loooooong time. It was like a flashback to the early oughts, but with better web design.
I don’t know what took me so long. I’ve been hearing good things about their business practices, etc. I guess I was just remembering early bandcamp, which was all right, but did not draw me in the way ✨ Spotify ✨ did at the time.
More the fool me.
I really like that Bandcamp has no “very famous” bands (except for Igorrr, Slayer, or Radiohead) which forces me to discover new stuff and buy random albums.
@one_old_coder@piefed.social Another angle of the same point, if the person likes indie or metal songs, specially western ones, it’s an absolute trove from what I can observe.
thanks for supporting artists first of all! I do want to bring to your attention that it’s a good idea to pay close attention to what bandcamp will do in the next years as it has been bought later sold by epic games and the current owners very quickly dismantled efforts of bandcamp staff to unionize. still, you actually get downloadable music on bandcamp and I hope. you enjoy it and back it up for your future enjoyment.
