More about my Bandcamp method:
- I listen to Bandcamp daily recommendations and official curated playlists. Usually not a hit but you never know.
- I also look at what's "fresh" in the genres that I tend to like. Most likely will find something new that I like.
- I allow myself to buy two albums per month for those I really really like, meaning roughly $20/mo go directly to artists
- I download them in MP3 320 and add them to my private Jellyfin library for me to enjoy wherever on every device.

So glad I quit Spotify. Very happy with what I am discovering on Bandcamp.

It feels good to #paytheartist

Während IMMER WIEDER am 20.09.2024 überall erscheinen wird, ist mein Album ANKER ab sofort nicht mehr bei Spotify und Apple Music verfügbar! Warum der Re-Release und warum das Entfernen des alten Albums? Aus zweierlei Gründen:

#Goodbye #Delisted #Anker #ImmerWieder #spotify #AppleMusic #Streaming #PayTheArtist #Bandcamp

During the #GGGW walk, a man pointed at my Rich Skipworth “Greyhound Fan Club” shirt and said “Hey I have that on my hat!”

Me: “Oh, you’re a fan of Rich Skipworth as well?”

Him: “Huh?”

Me: “Yeah, Rich Skipworth, the artist.”

Him: “Oh, I got this on Ali Express.”

Me: “Oh…I prefer the artist to actually get paid.”

Moment of silence. Him, visibly offended: “But you can’t beat $2.50!”

Rich Skipworth’s merch isn’t expensive, and he has frequent sales…

Heute ist International #JazzDay. Mir bedeutet diese Kunstform viel, weil sie ihrem Wesen nach divers, ermutigend, inklusiv ist. Sie lässt einen offenen Ausgang, Leben im Moment und Selbstausdruck zu. Es gibt Anknüpfungspunkte für das Erlernen demokratischer Werte und für interkulturelle Begegnungen.

Jazzmusiker:innen sollten angemessen vergütet werden. Empfehlungen für Honoraruntergrenzen gibt es von:

Pay transparency for artists is key to creating an arts sector that is fair and equitable to all.

We have published our fee structure for artists on the Words Ireland website for many years.

Today, as part of the #SayWhatYouPay initiative launched by Match in the Dark, we are happy to display this information at the link below.

I was pretty jazzed to catch part of The Daily Show last night and see Trevor Noah do a (relatively) deep dive on exposing how little Spotify musicians for their work...

... particularly since my last blog post was about exactly the same thing, and its good to see the issue getting more attention from a platform his size:
