Another round of #BandcampFriday—and setting my VPN to California to turn back the clock. This time it's #Forndom, #Herkunft, #Munknorr, and a favorite song by #Songleikr. Rounding out my collection of #VikingMusic, chipping away at my wishlist.
And as always, #NeverSpotify.
This #BandcampFriday is all #Danheim. He releases so many singles on #Bandcamp, I'm never sure of which albums I actually own, so I just grabbed a bunch.
And #NeverSpotify because they predate on and exploit indie musicians.
It's hard to find a good music curation resource. Google Play had a good one, but it got nerfed when it was rolled into YouTube Music. And #NeverSpotify because they callously exploit musicians. But one way or another, I still find music aligned with my tastes.
For this #BandcampFriday I got #Forndom, #Arcana, #Kalandra, and #TrehaSektori. Very interesting listening! It's going to be a good weekend.
That's right, it's another #BandcampFriday! 100% of sales (minus processing) goes to the musician! Today I picked up Ak Hovu (Nyttland side project), mouseonthekeys, Myrkur, Keikouto (or Tsukimachi?) and #Danheim. #bandcamp #OldNorse
Conversely, it would take 5000 streams on Spotify to match the payment of one album on Bandcamp. Spotify is exploitative—they don't pay the artist if a song is streamed less than 1000 times in a year. #NeverSpotify
And for #BandcampFriday I've purchased two albums by #Forndom and everything by #Noiduin. Very excited to get familiar with their work. #OldNorse #music #Bandcamp
Remember: #NeverSpotify April 2024, #Spotify stopped paying artists for music streamed <1K times. In 2025, 88% of streamed music earned no revenue for the musicians. Spotify is exploiting artists—delete your Spotify account.
Why do so many Americans love to listen to a complete moron? To feel better about themselves?
