Happy Bandcamp Friday!

Bandcamp Friday
Welcome to the folks added into this Substack from my Bandcamp community! This Substack is set to become a go-to hub for everything from insider music industry observations to exclusive early access content.
For those who might not be familiar, Bandcamp Fridays are an initiative by Bandcamp, aimed at supporting artists directly. On these days Bandcamp waives its revenue share, ensuring that more of what you spend goes straight to the artists.

Its interesting watching executives leave from artist centric models to AI music companies. Feels like going from a shepherd to training wolves.
Getting a small check from BMI’s private sale is funny. The Nonprofit sector that “helps” musicians make money… make more money than the artists too. Calling Spotify evil comes with a hefty salary.
