Happy Weekend, everyone. Let’s celebrate with a Metal Bandcamp Gift Club birthday today, shall we?
Today’s lucky birthday person has 1,545 wishlist items - considering buying an album for someone you don’t know today!
If you can’t afford it - it’s okay, we’ve all been there. But please, take a few minutes and scroll through their wishlist and collection, and maybe find something nice for yourself today!
Metal Bandcamp Gift Club stands with Bandcamp United.
From Bandcamp United on Twitter (emphasis mine):
We ask that in addition to emailing CEO Ethan Diamond, asking him to stop union busting, you participate in Bandcamp Friday this week by continuing to support your favorite artists.
Bandcamp United stands in solidarity with workers everywhere, and that means musicians, too.
On Bandcamp Fridays, Bandcamp doesn’t take a cut out of artist sales. We’re not calling for a boycott of Bandcamp Friday. There is currently no picket line to cross.
If you’d like to help support their efforts, check out the Bandcamp United Ally Tool Kit.
Oh, and hey! I’m hosting a second SOCIAL MEDIA ESCAPE CLUB video chat for anyone interested in gabbing about algorithms, social media, and where we go from here.
Sunday, April 23rd at 9am ET.
Free to join, donations appreciated: RSVP here.
