Bandcamp is beta testing fan accounts.
I have been a fan of the service for a while, and now on top of streaming and purchasing music, you can also peruse each others purchases/collections.
http://bandcamp.com/rougeriderhood (http://bandcamp.com/rougeriderhood)
Did anyone else get in on the Beta?
-
No. Wish i had.
-
I didn't either but am also a fan. The high payout for artists per purchase is great and is something I have taken advantage of and plan to continue doing so. I prefer Bandcamp over the likes of Spotify because I'd rather pay for flac files than a streaming service.
Hoping it takes off and a Bandcamp page for new albums becomes the norm in the next year.
-
I am not sure why the fan site is not showing any free or pay what you will downloads. I have downloaded at least 50 free EPs and LPs off of Bandcamp on top of the 47 they have listed.

It's too bad you can only list direct purchases in one's collection. Guess I need to add those to the wishlist I've gotten a couple compilations and albums for free and had downloads for other albums fulfilled via bandcamp, none of which will show up if I add email addresses associated with those downloads. Oh well
-
I think its kind of dumb that they arent showing the free ones. If I search my email for 'bandcamp' and 'download', it would be at least 100 more releases on there. Maybe they will patch it.
Also, it seems that since I used the same email address for both my artist and fan accounts, I cant follow anyone's account, since when I log in with my email, it defaults to the other account. I would not imagine that they would want people to have to use two email addresses to fully use their system.
-
That's weird because I can add additional email accounts as a fan, to find other purchases. I was hoping to pick up some of those other free/paid for downloads, but couldn't. Oh well I guess it's still in beta.
I already used it to add a track azaghal1981 mentioned on twitter...
-
did any of you actually go to band camp? oh the stories.
-
i did and the only story that sticks out, is one time in jazz band a trombone player hit me in the back of the head with their slide during a solo.
-
Fixed ;)

Bandcamp is donating 100% of its proceeds tomorrow to the ACLU. And I've seen at least two labels doing the same, Merge and Record Kicks. So dust off that wish list...
-
List of bands/labels also donating proceeds

-
Anyone get from Bandcamp yesterday? I ended getting several things from my wish list, but also got the new Priests, the case/lang/veirs album which I've already listened and totally enjoyed. Not that i really needed it but didn't realize WAV was a download option from there. FLAC works nicely for me... I was nice to find out that their cut is only like 15% of the cost.
-
Spent about $50 on AGF, Oren Ambarchi, 75 Dollar Bill, Yves Tumor, Richard Pinhas, and Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic.
-
I went a little nuts. Grabbed about 15 things; tried to stick mostly to bands/labels who are donating their cut.

have been enjoying and felt needed to pay them, thanks for the reminder

Once again Bandcamp is waiving their fee again for one day. Was thinking about giving this one a miss, having not even downloaded last purchases yet. But, lots of reminders of cool stuff available coming through the socials...

Yes. I just bought some.
And. Haven't downloaded last purchases yet.
-
I didn't get anything back in March as I'd just bought some vinyl. Definitely gonna give it a go this time.
-
i'm not even digging the deep into bandcamp and already feeling overwhelmed as usual,,, just found out Peter Gabriel's discography is up there including what looks like an amazing 62 track rarities collection and the german versions of this albums.
-
I got some downloads of Live Records from Superchunk, Hold Steady, and 3 nights of DBT in Athens, GA, and then vinyl preorders of the new Bad Moves, and Phoebe Bridgers, and DBT "Stay 6 Feet Back Motherfucker" T Shirt.
It is all overwhelming.
-
i'm saving money not buying stuff, including tickets and gas.
no more shows - life is canceled. see ya in 2021

This may happen again on June 5 and July 3 if this Dischord release is any indication:

Bandcamp steps up, spotify pull a stunt...
So this coming Juneteenth (June 19, from midnight to midnight PDT) and every Juneteenth hereafter, for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, we will be donating 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a national organization that has a long history of effectively enacting racial justice and change through litigation, advocacy, and public education. We’re also allocating an additional $30,000 per year to partner with organizations that fight for racial justice and create opportunities for people of color.

-
Didn't realize bandcamp was also doing their usual first Friday event this month on top of the Juneteeth event...
-
Not really my jam... but a number of Death Row Records including Dr.Dre’s The Chronic are up on bandcamp. Seems like a pretty big deal for them
-
Is this virtue signaling?
-
This is a great collection from Record Kicks with proceeds benefiting NAACP Legal Defense Fund. It includes the track famously sample by Jay-Z from Hannah Williams and The Affirmations and one of personal favs The Bluebeaters take on Toxic.

New tribute to Adam Schlesinger out today on Bandcamp. Looking very promising!!

All-Star Adam Schlesinger Tribute Album 'Saving For a Custom Van' Benefits COVID-19 Relief
6/16/2020 by Gil Kaufman
Sarah Silverman, Rachel Bloom, Nada Surf and Ted Leo contributed to the 31-track album.
It's fitting that late Fountains of Wayne singer Adam Schlesinger's friends and musical colleagues are remembering the prolific, wildly talented songwriter with a tribute album benefitting COVID-19 relief. The 31-track Saving for a Custom Van, out today on Father/Daughter Records & Wax Nine and available exclusively on Bandcamp, features Schlesinger's collaborators, tour mates, friends and fans offering up their versions of songs from throughout the Fountains of Wayne singer/songwriter's expansive career.
Schlesinger, who died on April 1 at age 52 due to complications from COVID-19, is honored by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-creator/executive producer and star Rachel Bloom, who reworks FoW's most beloved song, "Stacy's Mom" into a jazzy cabaret track. The album also features comedian Sarah Silverman teaming with Ben Lee for a folky take on "Way Back Into Love" from the 2007 movie Music and Lyrics.
Other contributors include FoW guitarist Jody Porter covering "Four in the Morning" from Schlesinger's other band, Ivy, while Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley takes on the power pop nugget "Radiation Vibe," Motion City Soundtrack do "Dip in the Ocean" and Nada Surf take a "Sick Day." All proceeds from the album will go to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which is helping music industry community members affected by the coronavirus pandemic

got hipped to this benefit comp for indie music venues in chicago...
it has live jeff tweedy and Ok Go tracks on offer... i recognize a couple more artists in the track listing, pretty mixed bag of genres of i'm assuming chicago based artists.

This looks very promising... A group of Scottish Musicians are getting together to record new versions of their songs with their road crews serving as the musicians to benefit them.
Solid lineup for this to be released in Dec
Whole Lotta Roadies
On the line-up for this one-off recorded extravaganza are Belle and Sebastian, Twin Atlantic, The Proclaimers, KT Tunstall, Fatherson, Emma Pollock, Honeyblood, The Rezillos, The Xcerts, and Idlewild.

This has become a thing..bands trying to do something for their road crews
That’s a side of the business nobody talks much about
Often the road crew start as a band’s original fans, friends and family and bands get very close with their crew... over the years and multiple tours everyone bonds... road crew kids might grow up playing with band member kids...often their crew are also musicians..sometimes when bands lose members someone from the road crew is promoted to replace the original band member... sometimes road crew members do side projects with a band member... sometimes someone starts out as road crew and then leaves to make their own band and music
It’s an interesting dynamic

this is bonkers
On the first Friday of every month since March, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support the many artists who have seen their livelihoods disrupted by the pandemic. Over the course of these nine days, fans paid artists and labels $40 million dollars, helping cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and much more. If you’re among the nearly 800,000 fans who participated, thank you.
and they have more Friday's schedule for next year...
it's also remarkable how much is funneled back into artists and labels via bandcamp
If you’ve started to feel guilty about buying music on any day other than Bandcamp Friday, here’s something to keep in mind: on Bandcamp Fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). When you make a purchase on any other day of the month (as 2.5 million of you have since March, buying an additional $145 million worth of music and merch) an average of 82% reaches the artist/label. Every day is a good day to directly support artists on Bandcamp!

Bandcamp Friday pull out your wallets!
-
The early consensus is as long as Epic allows Bandcamp to continue as is, all is fine.
One positive is that Epic may bring in the needed muscle to take on Apple which is preventing Bandcamp from directly selling within the app.
Personally, I hope it all stays the same as it serves now as cloud storage for my purchases.. the thought of downloading all those zip files makes my head hurt… zip files are my nemesis
Hopefully all artists I support stay put
-
Bandcamp Friday could be the last one :'(
part of me thinks i knew this tidbit about Super Furry Animals but there is now recorded evidence...
Actor Rhys Ifans in Notting Hill, Harry Potter and lately Spiderman was the lead singer prior to Gruff joining the band
anyways they have released a track recorded nearly 30 years ago
it's apparently only going to available for a limited time
https://superfurryanimals.bandcamp.com/track/of-no-fixed-identity

Wee update Gruff was in SFA at the time of this recording just not the lead singer

Whelp this a first for me.. bought an album off Bandcamp from a fraudulent account. Hopefully, the artist can claim the sell somehow...
-
This is so messed up and WTF did Epic Games think they were getting when they bought Bandcamp. Pretty sure Epic Games bet heavily on the whole NFT bullshit and are now cost cutting left and right.
Epic is laying off roughly 50% of the Bandcamp staff amidst it sale to Songtradr. So much for respecting the Bandcamp Employees union.
Seriously why isn’t Bandcamp a not for profit company at this point, surely there are smart people that could take this on.
-
Hmmm not sure if it’s Epic or Songtradr laying off employees.. I hope any artists using Songtradr to do digital distribution, etc for them cancel that service because of this BS
-
Oh great Soundtadr doesn’t actually make money licensing music, they are kept afloat by borrowing money like all good tech companies… the future of Bandcamp doesn’t look so bright, now that have gutted their editorial department
-
Ugh word is artists are deleting albums from bandcamp, and of course zip files are my nemesis so I’m very behind in my downloading… so I guess WAV file’s because they can be converted or FLAC

Oh and apparently they got rid of the team that took care of handling reports and then removing neo nazi bands. So of course that shit will proliferate now.
“Bandcamp earned a reputation for good moderation. Reports were acted on quickly and effectively, by people who knew their way around the symbols and dogwhistles of white supremacist music subgenres. Whatever comes next will probably not match that, with real consequences for funding of these scenes.”
As will people running scams by uploading albums that aren’t theirs
