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 releases to the full 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!)
