Bandcamp Friday is back tomorrow! There's a decent chance that it'll already be tomorrow by the time you read this.

Between the last one and this time, the Mountain Goats have granted my wish from May and rereleased another pair of fantastic old EPs, so I'm gonna pick those up for sure. (For anyone not clicking through, it's Devil in the Shortwave and Jam Eater Blues.) Not sure if there's anything else I want to grab yet.

Welp, alongside Epic's devastating layoffs, they've also sold Bandcamp to music licensing/marketing platform Songtradr. Epic's original purchase of Bandcamp had no visible effect so there's a chance this will also be fine, but it still makes me nervous.

On the upside though, the scheduled Bandcamp Fridays are still very much happening, including next week! October 6th is the next day to give 100% of your purchase directly to the artists.

Yep, and to top it off, apparently no one's heard from the Bandcamp founder since the sale was announced. It seems...Extremely Bad!

Bandcamp may be in a rough spot right now, but 11/3 (this Friday!) is still Bandcamp Friday, and your purchases there will still support artists who need to get paid. There probably won't be too many more of these, so if you've had your eye on some new music, now's the time.

I took the chance today to preorder Aesop Rock's new album, coming out next week!

And you're only telling me about this now????

"A concept album about an organization offering “lifestyle- and industry-specific applications designed to curate a desired multi-experience,” Integrated Tech Solutions picks apart the charlatan language that hears app inventors put themselves on continuums starting with cavemen and continuing through da Vinci."

Meant to post yesterday, but today (12/1) is once again Bandcamp Friday. Possibly for the last time, as I haven't heard anything about them continuing into next year. So if there's anything you want to buy on there, today's the day!

Friendly reminder that it's Bandcamp Friday, if anyone's been meaning to pick up some music.

It's back again this week! I was hoping to preorder the upcoming St. Vincent album, but it doesn't look like that's up on Bandcamp yet.

This Friday will be the 40th Bandcamp Friday. Frankly, I'm very pleased they're still happening! I'm going to be picking up the new St. Vincent album mentioned in my last post, not sure if there's anything else yet.

Same here, plus possibly Nation of Language’s latest.

I should probably grab that new St Vincent and I will almost certainly be preordering the upcoming Louis Cole album.

Also, let me take a second to plug an upcoming album by my good friend Yann Falquet. I've had the opportunity to listen to a number of tracks pre-release and everything I've heard so far has been really excellent. The album takes Quebecois traditional songs and gives them modern, mostly-acoustic indie rock arrangments that are really well put together. I know I recommend a lot of stuff that's only for trad doom murderheads, but this is an album that I think almost anyone can appreciate.

I love stuff released under the Monstercat label/group/whatever, but there's so dang much after not looking for years it's overwhelming. I used to just listen to the Rocket League soundtracks and bought a few single but never bothered to buy any full albums, I should do that.

These are a few of my favourite Rocket League tracks from back when I was paying attention if anyone wants to check these out on Bandcamp:

Firework - Hollywood Principle

Say My Name - Odesza. Other Odesza tracks I like are Sun Models, It's Only and Better Now.

Breathing Underwater (Ether Remix) - Hollywood Principle - I have a special connection to this song. Rocket League rotates their music constantly and this was the song that played the first time I ever played the game. I was prepared for this goofy go-kart soccer game based on what I'd heard from friends/coworkers, then I heard this absolutely stunning peaceful yet powerful track. It was so unexpected I set my controller down to listen before I did a damn thing in the game.

Brave Wave Productions put out a pretty big album late last month called Giants. It's got quite a range of composers and collaborations, so you've got composers from classic Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden (and many others) working with modern indie composers like Lena Raine and Tee Lopes. I've enjoyed all the remixes and new compositions I've listened to so far!

I have to be in the right mood for this sort of thing, but this is such a cool idea and album! I'm surprised this didn't get more press when it came out, feels like it should've been all over every game news website.
