So today is "Bandcamp Friday" https://isitbandcampfriday.com/

…the magical day Bandcamp (Epic Games) takes a 0% cut & every purchase gives a bit more money to the musician.

Back on Twitter I had a very, *very* long list of Bandcamp music recs I built out over two years of Bandcamp Fridays. I don't like linking to Twitter anymore so I've now moved the entire thing, plus five new recs, into a Cohost megapost:

Click here for somewhere over 90 album recommendations (I lost count)

Is it Bandcamp Friday?

Is it?

@mcc this “you can’t make purchases through the app” thing is a drag. i mean: i get why, but goddamn would i love to be able to impulse purchase a 7” of the band while they’re playing their show.

@ghorwood IMO the mobile phone duopoly is bad and app stores should be outlawed

@ghorwood does the mobile site not work well for purchases? I haven't tried it

@mcc there’s no purchase option at all. which i support, since there’s the apple tax to pay for in-app purchases. i basically only use the app for the follow feed and, very occasionally, streaming (although dl to the walkman is preferred).

@ghorwood no, i mean, if you open the browser on your phone and go to bandcamp.com in it, there seem to be purchase options there

@mcc @ghorwood My wallet wishes you couldn’t make purchases in the mobile site.
