Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday, where artists get 100% of the $$$ you spend on their merch on Bandcamp.
Bandcamp had announced earlier this year that they were extending it to May 7th, but it looks like they’ll keep doing it for a while still, with no end date this time. We’re still a while away from bands being able to tour and for things to get back to “normal”, whatever “normal” may be.

I remember they were giving 100% of purchases to bands before, but it seems they've reduced it to 92% while reminding everyone it's normally 82%. Seems they found some problems with that business decision and are course correcting a bit.

From what I was just reading, on Friday it’s 100%. I’ll have to double check.
My understanding is that the percentage the band gets depends on the type of merchandise. Either way, on Friday bands get a little more money.
Now I have decisions to make. sigh

Looks like they’re taking a break for June and July and will be back the first Friday of August.

Thought they had stopped altogether.
Whether it is a stop or a pause, it kinda feels like a relief, it has been crazy these past 15 months.

It's kind of weird the they stop for two months. Anyway, I have too much music to listen to already, soooo...

Just did a quick count. Including gifts, I have made 157 BC friday purchases these past 15 months. A lot of good music, much of which I have not listened all that much to.

Nowhere near that for me. But keep in mind that labels are very generous with mp3 promos. It’s insane the amount of stuff coming out. And I follow that page on Facebook about new Spotify metal releases and a lot of them didn’t even come my way.
