Maybe I'll start buying music again

Bandcamp Friday. 100% of the money goes to the artist on the First Friday of (most) months.

I've got the days marked in my calendar! Next one is at the beginning of September. Already got my songs picked out waiting in my "cart" lol

That’s what I do. Find stuff over the month, give it some listens to see if it sticks, then buy baby buy. :)

We are very similar haha. BCF has been such a success (at getting $ to musicians) I wonder if Subvert will have a similar special day. "Subvert Sundays" maybe?

Although Friday is kind of the perfect day - the end of the with week for most, and not as busy as Saturday, or as sobering as Sunday.

You probably won't, since Bandcamp has been available this entire time.

First of all, thanks for pretending you know me. That's cool.

Second, I've been buying on bandcamp up until Epic bought it. I have principles and one of those is that I don't support Epic.

But has only been owned by Epic Games for a short period of that, which may have been when they stopped purchasing music
