Free/"Name Your Price" Bandcamp Album Compendium

is bandcamp streaming not working today or is it just me?

Seems to be working fine, if a bit slow.

It appears to be doing a new thing where it loads the entire song before playing, as opposed to before when it would play while it was loading.

ah good call

Linked earlier on this thread, but they've opened up their entire back catalogue from 1990 onwards to "name your price." (Also, this thread is actually a pretty high-up hit when you search for their bandcamp page!)

Yeah so do I (re: EI)--it wasn't you?

Maybe it was Mordy?

That makes sense. I was thinking maybe Hurting but I think you're right.

I know I've talked up this guy on here before, but I feel the need to proselytize his latest composition, the soundtrack for Double Dragon Neon – super awesome 80s action movie/video game synth/party guitar soundtrack radness!

http://virt.bandcamp.com/album/double-dragon-neon

i've talked to a number of people lately who have haven't heard of bandcamp, and it always surprises me...i think of it as being ubiquitous now, but it seems like there's a real divide between music nerds (who will google "[band name] bandcamp" as a matter of course) and normal folks who have never encountered it.

Well when you say 'music, online, purchase directly' most people will think "Oh iTunes." Maybe Amazon.

i think of Bandcamp kind of like the non-rap equivalent of Dat Piff, if you listen to certain stuff that's not going to be on iTunes, you familiarize yourself with site(s) like that, if not you're good w/ iTunes.

Darren Hayman's field recordings of outdoor swimming pools: http://darrenhayman.bandcamp.com/album/field-recordings-for-lido

^that made for some excellent decompression after a day working on music stuff.

i released a free single last week: http://chants.bandcamp.com/album/kid-colossus-hourglass

heavy synth vibes on the A side, 8 bit arpeggios + bata samples + shifting beat feels on the B side.

I'm enjoying Monobrow's latest slice of instrumental doom:

http://monobrowmanband.bandcamp.com/album/bennington-triangle-blues

It's not going to change the world, but sometimes you just need big down-tuned riffs without anybody growling or caterwauling over them.

*points seven posts up* :P

It was above my bookmark. Ces't la vie.
