Anyone else suddenly getting loads of emails from Bandcamp along the lines of "New album from Arovane"? Started getting them this week with no recollection of ever having signed up to or bought anything from the site.

was going to post this on the psych/drone thread but suspected it would be ripped apart for it being too close to brmc, warlocks, dead meadows etc, albeit in a more ramshackle, self produced, jam band kinda groove.but given this thread has been revived .. i have listened to this album more this week than anything else, and enjoy it more with each spin.
oh, and i seriously love the artwork as well.

Sheer Mag just got my $4!
i love bands like Sheer Mag where they operate w/such (in a sense) totally played out forms and influence but there's some sort of undefinable spark to it and the tunes are just THERE
reminds me of the Exploding Hearts in that sense though these guys add a few more classic rock moves to their power pop/garage punk

― I painted my teeth (sleeve), Saturday, 2 March 2024 02:56 (one month ago) link
Here's a new one that kind of annoys me, not going to direct link because I genuinely like the artist and don't want to shame them for trying to make a buck, but...
So said artist has a new album coming out, but there is no digital version available at all. Even ordering through Bandcamp it says that you won't get one despite Bandcamp's standard language that you will. The only way to get it is to pay $20 for the vinyl, but even in order to have the opportunity to do THAT you already have had to pay for a $60 annual subscription. Obviously you get other stuff too with that option, and I'm not discounting that, but I just can't see the benefit of hyping a new album that is locked behind so many gates.
I know it's hard out there, but this is annoying and kind of puts me off the artist.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 12 March 2024 20:04 (one month ago) link
Like I've supported this artist in the past by buying lots of digital and vinyl stuff in the past and was ready to do so again, but then I ran into this. I like this artist, but they have a wider range of stuff that I'm not as interested in. But I guess it's either all in on everything or you can't get anything at all. Which seems... not ideal to gain new fans?
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 12 March 2024 20:06 (one month ago) link
I have def been seeing the subscription thing more often, I am also unsure what the idea is there
my latest bizarre glitch was buying a gift for a friend but using an old dead email. When I tried emailing her directly it bounced immediately, but before that Bandcamp happily took my money and did not inform me the email was undeliverable, lol
― I painted my teeth (sleeve), Tuesday, 12 March 2024 20:11 (one month ago) link
I don't think a subscription model is necessarily a bad idea and I've seen some done well, but I can't imagine it's best in the long run if that's your only option.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 12 March 2024 20:14 (one month ago) link
The subscription model is just basically the Patreon business model, no?:If 1000 people like what you do enough to pay you $100 a year, you can make a living doing it.
