excellent jazz quartet whose debut album I've been loving for over a year now. A second album coming out soon, and I'm looking forward to it.

I hope this doesn't get dismissed as stupid without investigating: the soundtrack to Minecraft is actually one of the better ambient records I've heard recently, and has some flat-out stunning moments.

Dilly Dally. From Toronto, have two songs up on Bandcamp, and that's all I know about them. The earlier track is kinda meh, but I've had "Next Gold" on repeat periodically throughout the afternoon:

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
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 12 February 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link
oh sweet sheer mag opening for ex hex in nyc in april
i am all for well-executed exercises in form, the endless pursuit of the new is fuckin exhausting sometimes
― adam, Thursday, 12 February 2015 19:50 (nine years ago) link
that's a great opening gig for them they will go over well w/ex hex crowd i would imagine

Bandcamp hired a smart staff to create about 20 times the amount of editorial content that had been there previously, writing about music that had just been posted as well as parts of its deep and woolly catalog, in a feature called “Bandcamp Daily.”
Anyone reading this stuff on the site regularly? I see that M*rk M*sters, who co-wrote that experimental/avante rock column for Pitchfork , is writing for them a bit
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 29 September 2016 20:25 (seven years ago) link
I'm writing for them too. Nothing I've done has been published yet (their lead times are print-mag long), but I just turned in a guide to the Axiom Records catalog - which is being reissued, piecemeal, on Bill Laswell's Bandcamp page.

The awesome New Zealand band Beastwars (kinda Kyuss-y, but more pummeling) put out their third album The Death of All Things - their first since 2013 - back in April, but I just found out about it today, so it's become my final music purchase of 2016.

Bought 7 albums from the Ohm Resistance label today. They do heavy, noisy, industrial-ish dub and drum 'n' bass; Bill Laswell appears on a bunch of their releases, and they put out stuff by Scorn and by the group The Blood of Heroes, which features Laswell, JK Broadrick, and others.
I got:
Submerged, Violence as First Nature (plus its bonus DJ mix disc, which is separate but pay-what-you-want)Submerged, Before Fire I Was Against Other PeopleSubmerged vs. Bill Laswell, After Such Knowledge, What Forgiveness?Silent Killer + Breaker, Amongst VillainsImaginary Forces, Filth ColumnistImaginary Forces, Uppstigande

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 (two weeks 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.
