so what?

Hmmm, for buying automatically, you might be looking into Bandcamp Clubs. You pick one of such “clubs” and you get one album into your library each month that you can keep forever.

For downloading, there’s Batchcamp.

I personally don’t mind visiting the website whenever I have some spare time each month to get something. I also have a task that reminds me of Bandcamp Friday (spoiler: it’s the 1st Friday of almost each month). In the months when there’s no Bandcamp Friday, I just mark the task as complete and move on.

It took them quite a while. But if there’s also anyone else that’s still decided to build an actual music library, independent of streaming platforms, instead, here are a bunch of popular bands/artists that have some or all of their music on Bandcamp, among those that I listen to:

• Radiohead
• The Prodigy
• Molchat Doma
• Korn
• Bush
• Nirvana
• Foo Fighters
• Evanescence
• Gojira (music released under their label page)
• Arch Enemy
• Paradise Lost
• Killswitch Engage
• Rise Against
• Porcupine Tree
• P.O.D.
• Knocked Loose
• Mastodon (music released under their label page)
• Opeth - check the pages of Candlelight Records and Peaceville
• Alcest
• Insomnium - check the pages of Century Media Records and Candlelight Records
• Lacuna Coil (music released under their label page)
• Dream Theater (music released under their label page)
• Geese
• Cindy Lee

There are plenty of other indie bands that I recommend choosing from, but most people that stay on the streaming platforms stay for the big names - that’s why I wanted to create a list with names that are sure to be instantly recognizable for anyone who’s been listening to music in general, to a certain genre of music or who is looking for something more popular from the latest years. As a disclaimer, this is also why you might find some controversial names - I didn’t take my time to check all of these artists’ controversies; if there are any, let me know.

Remember, you can also support them by buying their albums on physical media (CDs, vinyls, cassettes etc.) or by going to their live shows whenever you have the chance.

Even if you decide to pay them something like $4 you have secured them more revenue than they gained by listening any of their songs for 1000 times, but if you buy their music on Bandcamp Friday, artists get a bigger share of the price you pay.

Why did I initially read this as Premium Pentium? lol

I’ll pick Jolla. I hope their new phone will be good.

@TheV2 Mad Max I think would be for me.

Good for them!

You’re right! Europe can just defend itself with thougts and prayers. Why didn’t all the bureaucrats from Brussels think about this? Omg, you’re a genius!

so you want them to have more dogs

@Quexotic anything involving self-hosting is a hassle though, and the advertising is not there, unlike anything that comes from big tech. But the results are highly rewarding.

Not if you become accustomed to it and revolve your daily habits around it. But yeah, once she will get home assistant it will clearly be a liberating experience.

It’s a great game, and I’m glad that it’s free today

Nothing yet, and still undecided. Dealing with the hangover now, lol.

Thank you!

Wish there was a care reaction for fedi

While many respondents expressed hopes for an end to the fighting, they largely expect it to conclude on terms “proclaimed as its goals,”

Disappointed. I was hoping to actually see Gabe’s face.

That’s the point of it

Slowly but surely he’s getting back in touch with reality. I remember back in spring that he was very pro-US and called not to leave our strategic partner behind or something like that (not this exact wording, it’s late here, I’ll probably look through his posts tomorrow). Anyway, despite the constant whining of our Russian leaning “sovereignists” (read that as fascists), the relationship between Romania and France has been a historical one, and is here to stay. I don’t even want to imagine what kind of country we would have been without them supporting the “Little union” of 1859, their cultural influence over the revolutionaries of 1848, as well as their support in WW1.

Vive la France!
