Tomorrow is @bandcamp.com Friday! Bandcamp waives their fees, so artists get all the cash. Incredible but true.

TODAY: @supremenothing.myatproto.social shares the good news from indie music: "People from all over, regardless of scene or genre, are really showing up. This isn’t just a punk thing; this isn’t about protest songs, or music that’s always been explicitly political." flaminghydra.com/issue-497/?a...

Today's date marks the 75th birthday of Eddie Hazel, whose guitar work with Funkadelic made him legend, with his ten-minute flight on "Maggot Brain" rated among the finest solo achievements on any instrument. A heralded follow-up, "Eric Clapton Can Lick My Balls," remains to this date unreleased.

Too kind and this does serve as a way for me to say that: yes, I am open to write press bios for bands and musicians. Keep in mind: 1) I actually have to like you/your work, 2) I charge a set rate and 3) if I write a bio obviously I can't review the album, etc. Contact ned@kuci.org at any time.

I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.

“Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians,” says Bjork. ”The streaming culture has changed an entire society and an entire generation of artists.”

Musician here... Your friend has a point. If you pirate my album I make no money but at least you care enough about my music to seek it out & listen. If you listen to my album on Spotify, I make a tiny fraction of a penny, & you are enriching billionaires, fascist podcasts, & the rise of AI slop.
