This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
“Not a whole lot of folks could write something this ambitious and out there, and even fewer could do so after writing a couple albums deeply rooted in the sad bastard side of folk. It's a very different, very special record and I think it's got a little something for everyone.”
“Take it from me —a guy who has spent more than a normal amount of time continually trying to discover fresh tunes— finding new music becomes completely pointless if you don't actually stop and listen to what you've found.”
“Learn a language. Seriously, your brain will thank you for it. It can also be fun and you’ll open up a whole new world of arts, media and culture that makes the world a far more interesting place.”
“Before I start I want to make a few things clear. I am not to be trusted. I was born in 1974. Look at those numbers!”
“A music service has never so brilliantly propositioned us to put our money where our mouths are. You can "like" something all you want (or scrobble, heart, whatever), but if you want an album to show up in your collection, you'll need to actually get out your wallet and support the people who made it. With money. And that's a great thing for artists.”
“But with the timely connection between what I wrote on the 10th and what David Byrne wrote on the 11th fresh in my mind, something jumped out at me.”
“But this post isn't another rant about how little streaming pays and whether or not Spotify and the like are evil/killing independent music. This post is about how all of those other posts almost never mention Bandcamp.”
“Piracy is happening because everybody is broke and we’re never going to fix anything if we keep shaking the wrong people upside down and hoping money can keep falling out of empty pockets.”
“How come so many bands of the mid-to-high-level of ‘made it or making it’ range are not currently using Bandcamp?”
