100% of Bandcamp Proceeds to ACLU Today

Post by Mundane Mayhem »

Bandcamp is donating 100% of its cut on sales today to the ACLU, and 400 artists/labels have joined in to support. More info here: https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/01/31/b ... an-rights/

On the one hand, I'm conflicted: I try to buy from my local indie store whenever possible, and I could probably donate close to the same amount to the ACLU myself just by forking over what I'll spend on shipping.

On the other, there's a lot of stuff on Bandcamp that no bricks-and-mortar is going to carry (though they can always special order).

If you're inclined, today's a good day to buy some music.

I bought a HGM t-shirt earlier, assuming this deal covered general merch sold thru BC. Hope that was the case.

-Bear Medicine, The Moon Has Been All My Life
-Big Thief, Masterpiece
-Margaret Glaspy, Emotions and Math
-Father John Misty, Pure Comedy (deluxe edition pre-order)
-Lydia Loveless, Indestructible Machine
-LBIII & The Glory Fires, Dereconstructed

It really is gorgeous stuff. Speaking of, went back to the Bandcamp well one more time to preorder Clipper Ship. Really dig "Mexican Coke" and can't wait to hear the rest.
