bandcamp’s the only remotely-ethical online platform for buying music––even after processing fees, waaay more reasonable than zilch-artist-profit things like sp*tify––so pay some people for their soundwork!! // i rotate musics in & out from the much bigger FULL BANDCAMP ROUNDUP; no embedded players there for ease of loading (sometimes i forget to add these releases to the master list & they fall out of rotation; tell me if yrs disappears!!!) // my collection here; & i’ll shamelessly say i’mma broke b*tch & LOVE when people send me codes // SUBMIT YR RELEASE (doesn’t need to be bandcamp, just a link to buy record!) // apologies if i missed any obsolete notes, i prolly should’ve dated them but didn’t think of that til 3+ years into roundup so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
