Bandcamp does things very reasonably and gives artists a lot of control

I've thought for a while that this would be a really great idea. With the collapse of the music industry, why not actively and explicitly promote patronage as an option for sustaining artists' livelihoods?

Most venues take a cut of t-shirt/keychain/whatever sales, but few take a cut of record/CD sales.
I saw Rocket From The Tombs at one such venue a few years ago. David Thomas circumvented the venue's 20% grab of CD sales by sitting on the stage and personally selling CDs to fans.

ime, the percentage they take of sales is across the board, records/shirts/etc.

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure. A friend of mine works for a national touring band and told me that they try to avoid one particular venue in the northeast because the hall specifically takes a cut of CD and LP sales, and that this is apparently rare.

the situations i am familiar with where this is the case are university gigs
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Friday, 8 May 2015 17:35 (nine years ago) link
that's nuts and sad. none of the clubs we play have ever suggested such a thing but we're small potatoes.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 8 May 2015 17:37 (nine years ago) link
it's usually larger venues where the band gets a guarantee

Patreon is probably brilliant when it works but how many artists have a super dedicated fanbase like that? I can't think of a single artist I like enough to make them a regular expense.

I will say I have never felt that people deserve a ton of money for making pop music as a full time job - I think 2$ is a reasonable price for a downloaded album

Musicians who want money :ie a red ribbon around the trunk of a Birch tree to ward off negative energy. Hang Birch twigs over a cradle to protect a newborn from psychic harm. Use Birch bark as magical parchment to keep writings safe.
Brich for wealth in the msuic busineass??
The Birch Moon is a time of rebirth and regeneration. As the Solstice passes, it is time to look towards the light once more. When a forested area burns, Birch is the first tree to grow back. The Celtic name for this month is Beth, pronounced beh. Workings done in this month add momentum and a bit of extra "oomph" to new endeavors. The Birch is also associated with magic done for creativity and fertility, as well as healing and protection.
