Maybe I'll start buying music again
18 0 ReplyBandcamp Friday. 100% of the money goes to the artist on the First Friday of (most) months.
26 0 ReplyI've got the days marked in my calendar! Next one is at the beginning of September. Already got my songs picked out waiting in my "cart" lol
5 0 ReplyThat’s what I do. Find stuff over the month, give it some listens to see if it sticks, then buy baby buy. :)
3 0 ReplyWe are very similar haha. BCF has been such a success (at getting $ to musicians) I wonder if Subvert will have a similar special day. "Subvert Sundays" maybe?
Although Friday is kind of the perfect day - the end of the with week for most, and not as busy as Saturday, or as sobering as Sunday.
