"'It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,' said David Israelite, the NMPA’s president and CEO [...] 'Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move [...] We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022.'"
Music platform @mirlo is raising funds to keep running! They let listeners buy directly from musicians, with only 7% going to the platform. They're owned by a worker co-op and open-source too
I really appreciate what they're doing, especially with the instability at Bandcamp
Hello dear #music lovers.
I'm happy to announce the release of my newest album "moods" with 7 tracks coming directly from the heart.
I hope you like it. But beware, it really oscillates between light and very dark moods.
I've had these three great lofi rough (kinda Bob Dylany?) blues-rockish songs by this mysterious Canadian project The Planks in my Bandcamp wishlist forever, and I can find absolutely nothing about the band. The three songs are all from 2018, and I dig em all. A long shot, but anyone know anything about em?
Danke für all the support. You can save 15% on everything on #BandcampFriday today, when you use the discount code "DANKE" at checkout, from today until Monday!
Zupełnie zapomniałem, że posiadam konto artysty na #Bandcamp. Właśnie się na nie zalogowałem i okazało się, że nadal za 3 złote można kupić wszystkie odcinki pierwszego sezonu #MichałStankiewiczPodcast w pełnej jakości (oczywiście nikt nie kupił).
Teraz uważam to za nonsens i zmieniam cenę na okrągłe 0 złotych. Bo po co sprzedawać coś, co i tak jest za darmo?
For those who have spent too much on music this friday, or for any other reason can't afford to add any of my releases to their #bandcamp collection: don't be afraid to ask me for #yumCodes. I've got plenty too spare, including codes for the new EP, (https://defaultmediatransmitter.bandcamp.com/album/receiver).
If you do decide to pay, rest assured that any earnings will be put to good use. I donate everything to good causes or people in need.
It's Bandcamp Friday again, and the last one for a while until they start back up in September! Be sure to support your favorite artist today and pick up some of their music if you have the means. If you want to grab something from me, consider grabbing my latest happy hardcore single I made with my friend REIA.
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).
Simply make a direct comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
