o.nate, do you use bandcamp to buy physical media or digital albums? or a mix?
I've only ever bought digital there.

some of you will know that i'll occasionally rep for the music of Alex Ward - most recently seen playing guitar with the Flying Lutenbachers.
New collaboration with Brooklyn improv saxophonist Sam Weinberg just out [urlthis week, but I've only just got round to listening to Noonward, his collaboration with 'rhythmic storyteller' Sean Noonan. Delaying getting into this was a big mistake, as it's really *excellent*. Surprisingly rich, for what I thought in a perfectly good way might be somewhat limited to the more abstruse ends of free improv (delay was probably bcos i didn't feel i was in the right *intellectual* state - a reservation that turns out was entirely unnecessary - cos at times it really moves. the mixture of drums, playful clarinet, *hard* guitar, and general tonal playfulness has been executed with some magic imo.
For the more austere and intellectually minded in these *internal* times, the composition/improv sextet Projected, Entities, Removal and quintet Glass Shelves and Floor are well worth your time imo. I particular favour the first of those. Hope the sleevenotes are available on downloads, as they make a good read on the musical theory behind both.

Things I wound up buying today: the Anna Högberg Attack, Strychnia, and Broken Shadows titles mentioned above, and new versions of three titles by French-Canadian tech-death band Neuraxis (Trilateral Progression, Asylon and the compilation Truth/Imagery Passage) that I previously had in lower bit rates.

Girlpool released demos of their last album that were recorded before Avery transitioned. Excited to hear them in his old voice.

Good job, everyone (really!):
Update on last Friday's campaign: Fans paid artists $7.1 million in just 24 hours ($2.8m more than March 20th). Thank you for supporting artists impacted by Covid-19, and mark your calendars for the next #BandcampFriday on June 5th! https://t.co/hPhgm7WBR4— bandcamp (@Bandcamp) May 4, 2020

Hopefully this is a dumb question, but how are people listening to digital music they buy on BC these days? Streaming through the BC app, or downloading and listening through other means?
Because I'm a huuuuge Bandcamp supporter and streaming sucks, yet I mainly buy music that I might put in a DJ mix (and so need the files), or use it as a tip jar and then still listen on some other artist-exploiting platform.

purchase mp3s (320), stream to stereo via sonos.there is the bandcamp streaming option in sonos, but i have no need for it after purchase.

Downloading flac files, playing on foobar through external DAC and stereo system. Or converting to 320 mp3 and playing on portables.
Happily converted to fully virtual listening, although the occasional pdf booklet to accompany a bandcamp d/l would be appreciated.

They are great. That b-side comp looks interesting, nice that it features lots of tracks with Erika.

I'm not a Tuba Skinny fan, but I'm a notorious hater and I'm glad people are enjoying it.
I do need to start using Bandcamp + Sonos. For the app, I wish it was possible to easily download tracks you've bought for offline listening, a la Google Podcasts (and I assume most podcast apps). Maybe it's possible and I'm an idiot?
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 6 May 2020 13:46 (four years ago) link
I download everything I buy on Bandcamp. It's right on every album/ep/track in your collection--a "download" text link that lets you select the quality (i.e. FLAC, mp3-320). Or right after you complete a purchase, the page it takes you to says "download" and if you set the quality you want, it then gives you links for every item.
I use the (non-mobile) website for buying/downloading, haven't used the app. But there must be a way there, too.
― Soundslike, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 14:05 (four years ago) link
I download too, but unfortunately my downloaded files are very separate from my home listening setup these days. I used to use iTunes + iPod and listen to files in the car, now I don't use the iPod anymore (and don't drive a car). The files just go on my usb for possible mixing.

with another Bandcamp revenue-share day coming up Friday, and then one June 19, i'm hoping folks could point to some excellent music (available on Bandcamp) made by Black artists that speaks to the Black experience in America and/or BLM, police brutality, racial inequality, etc.
any/all styles and sounds welcome.

My friend/collaborator Arthur Brooks is selling downloads (needledrop, because the original tapes are lost) and original pressing LPs of his 1978 release Nightcaller. 100% of the proceeds go to the artist.
Apart from a few brief tracks scattered on a couple of Bill Dixon compilations, this is the only officially-released documentation of the Black Music Division at Bennington College, where Arthur taught for over 20 years. He's a trumpeter-composer, and was a member of Brute Force (album on Embryo with Sonny Sharrock), the Cecil Taylor Unit, and a number of Bill Dixon's ensembles.
