I decided to go all-in on #faircamp for kidlightbulbs.com. It's now just a simple little place to listen to everything I've done and a few links (oh and a couple of li'l tweaks that were surprisingly easy to make). Looks good, I think

On top of Unstream now supporting true releases & release pages, I've started building out a Collection feature. Think of it like your Bandcamp or Mirlo collection but cross-platform - a way to show off music you own & the artists you've supported along the way. #musicsky #fairtrademusic

Whoa this I did not see coming, especially after the layoff news: @bandcamp implemented the subsonic API so you can take your Bandcamp collection to open-source media players & infrastructure. I just set it up in seconds Honestly pretty cool, curious what this means for them

Finally got cross-client login & sync working for Unstream! What this means: - anyone can create a user account on Unstream, not just artists - you can save artists you want to support on the web app, and those sync to your mac app / browser extension / other devices (1/2)

I've been quiet about @buffer.com stuff! Well I have something to share today: we shipped a home screen for our web app 🏠 This was a fun project to work on because it's not a flashy new *feature*, but rather a new hub that brings together Buffer's tightly-integrated social toolkit. Here's mine!

It's fun that Unstream is becoming a trusted directory for independent artists & the best ways to support them. This is part of my vision: to make it as clear and easy as possible who know you are listening to, the fact that they're a real artist/band, and that they deserve your support.

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 13/03/2026

Okay, a couple of fun things I'm working on for Unstream right now: - true artist pages & a process to claim them - artist page customization - curate your platform links, add a bio, add a featured release - embeds - a simple directory of verified #indie artists unstream.stream #musicsky

Something I still hear all the time from creators: "What's the best time to post?" The typical answer: "it depends, just try stuff" 😅 That's exhausting. So we've made it less so, with ✨Smart Scheduling✨ It's part of a bigger shift to make Buffer smarter. Learn more: buffer.com/resources/sm...

Big #unstream update: the Mac app supports new release alerts! (Chrome soon, too!) Save the artists you want to support later; when they release something new, Unstream will let you know with a direct link to buy that release. Check it out at unstream.stream 🤘 #indiemusic #fairtrademusic #apps

This is arguably the feature I'm most excited that we're bringing to @buffer.com since I joined the team. A calm (seriously, it's so... just calm) way of keeping up with your community across social platforms. It's truly going to be wonderful for all types of creators. Coming next Wednesday 😉

Something I thought would be fun: a diagram illustrating all the connective tissue across my music. So I made one in Figjam. I present to you: The Kid Lightbulbs song map buff.ly/a7wyjBO This does not go entirely into the archives, but shows the recurring references & motifs across my 4 albums.

I'm going to open up a preorder for INFINITE NORMAL (kid lightbulbs lp4) probably today or tomorrow. I haven't yet gotten a test pressing of the CD edition and I want to make sure it is all looking good first before I "publish" that. So here's the deal:

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 10/10/2025

okay, now that the singles are out of the way: INFINITE NORMAL, kid lightbulbs album 4, will drop November 7. It'll have both a digital and physical (CD) release. Running time: 70:23 (this is why no vinyl...for now)

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 02/10/2025

PERFORMANCE VERSIONS is out🤘🏻 This is a Bandcamp-exclusive EP containing five different takes (plus a coda!) on the newest Kid Lightbulbs single, "performance", from my upcoming album INFINITE NORMAL.

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 20/09/2025

my last single was an angry anxious rant about surviving late capitalism, so it's only fitting that my next single is going to be an angry jaded rant about the performative nature of late capitalism it's appropriately titled: "performance". @brennamenz.com is on it. 10/3 bandcamp, 10/10 streaming

021

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 04/09/2025

I am thrilled to announce "the grass is quicksand", the second single off my upcoming album INFINITE NORMAL, in time for the next Bandcamp Friday.

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 29/08/2025

An experiment: I've decided to make all my music pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp. You can now get the entire Kid Lightbulbs discography for free if you like! All I ask is for your email address – this also gets you reliable updates anytime I release something new. Why am I doing this? 👇

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 18/08/2025

I love working in dark mode so much that sometimes I forget to disable it when sharing @buffer.com screenshots, even though it's not done and still being tested internally 😅 I guess this is a backhanded way of saying dark mode is finally coming to Buffer on web! Likely late summer / early fall.

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 30/07/2025

Third announcement of the week: The first single off INFINITE NORMAL will be "womb", the opening track. It's out now exclusively on Bandcamp, along with a b-side, "come alive", which will *not* be on the album. Get it here, or better yet, save it for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow: buff.ly/Ghzei1J

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 28/07/2025

Big update: I'm removing my first 2 albums from the streaming platforms. Not enough people who haven't also bought them on Bandcamp are listening. They're exclusively at Bandcamp and kidlightbulbs.com. Singles are still up and getting some plays.

REMIXED CASTLE, in full, is now coming to streaming. The last remix in the cycle is the "belong" remix by @bad-years.bsky.social – a dear internet-friend & collaborator – who took "belong 2" and its sister track "we don't belong" (from LP1) and molded them into this spiritual meditative thing. 1/3

“don’t wait” - reimagined by @loopsnake.bsky.social as a moody, sprawling 10-minute club banger - out next Friday 7/11. This remix is delicious. artists.landr.com/056870336657

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 23/06/2025

I am excited to share the next REMIXED CASTLE release: “waste me away” as reimagined by @superscience.xyz This remix is wild. It starts like a smoky film noir, and grows - via the signature SuperScience synth metal sound - into this intense fireball of emotion.

TLDR: I'm doing a flash sale ⚡ REMIXED CASTLE is now name-your-price 🏰 I mentioned last week that I'm divesting all Bandcamp profits to queer/trans creators in need. Nobody's really taken me up on this, so I'm going a bit bold to rally some support. #musicsky #remix #newmusic #edm #alternative

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 29/05/2025

I don’t have 100k streams, but I do have 7 very nice patrons who have “subscribed” to kid lightbulbs totaling $19.66 of recurring income each month. After processing fees, that's barely $16/month, or $191/year. But that also makes kid lightbulbs *almost* a cost-neutral operation (1/4)

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 21/05/2025

I am thrilled to be sharing the next Kid Lightbulbs remix dropping this Friday - “aquarium”, reinterpreted by @ilybby_music 👐 This is arguably the bleakest song on RUINED CASTLE, and ily somehow turned into two *different* things, both exuding joy – (1/2)

Always great, never gets old: when someone you don't immediately recognize buys your whole album on Bandcamp 😄😄 😄 😄

An extremely underrated perk of remote work: if you have a pet, you can have it around all day long *without* needing to worry about whether a coworker is allergic to said pet even better if they sit up like a human next to you while you're working

This is such a silly thing but it helps me out a lot: I got into a habit of defaulting to posting on Threads, which was great! But I started neglecting other places online (like Bluesky 😜 ), and I'm keen to try out Mastodon more... so I made a little shortcut to gradually fix my habit:

THREADS ON MY ART 2 – an exercise in collaborative joy This is an EP of covers of Kid Lightbulbs songs (this time from my last album RUINED CASTLE) made by friends in the music community on Threads. Each cover is a complete reinterpretation of the song in a genre of the artist's choice. (1/2)

Whoa, so Faircamp (the self-hosted #Bandcamp alternative) now supports RSS feeds and podcasts. You can self host a podcast, or perhaps even a Patreon-style feed where patrons can get updates & new releases, with no platform fees. All for the cost of a host (free/v cheap) and some light coding. 😍

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 08/04/2025

Oh hey so in addition to my own remix album, I contributed to someone else's 😱 okaydenaus.bsky.social is releasing a track-for-track remix album of his own, and I contributed a smooth melancholy remix of his banger "creatures" 👹 out 4/26. pre-save here: distromono.lnk.to/OkaydenRemixes

Friendly reminder that, if you like the music I make and the ideas I post, you'll more reliably get them by subscribing to my newsletter. Social feeds, being largely algorithmic, will feed you what they think you want to see - even in the feeds of folks you specifically follow.

REMIXED CASTLE, the wonderful collaborative reimagining of my last album RUINED CASTLE, will come to streaming.... in July. It's already out on Bandcamp. This massive delay is for 3 reasons 👇

110

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 08/03/2025

More @bandcamp.com stats fun: On your payment summary page (under "tools") you can see your lifetime sales, but also how much of that has gone to bandcamp and credit card fees. Turns out, thanks to #BandcampFriday, bandcamp itself isn't taking much more out of my sales than paypal etc at this point

130

brandon aka kid lightbulbs @bgreen.lol · 07/03/2025

If you haven’t already, please check out REMIXED CASTLE (and its older, more jaded sibling RUINED CASTLE). Today I’m divesting all sales to a fellow trans creator in need of support, so please check it out and consider a purchase. 🙏🌈

Oh huh I’m very close to 5000 lifetime plays on bandcamp, that’s fun 😉 kidlightbulbs.bandcamp.com
