Hey y'all! Subvert officially launched today, and of course I have some of my music up on it. Having more options for independent-friendly music shops is generally a good thing, but I do have some thoughts about where things are going and how things could be a lot better.
Subvert is getting a lot of hype because it’s new but I don’t see it as my long-term solution for music sales. I’m not sure what I’d consider to be my primary platform right now (probably Mirlo), but in the long term I think the future is self-hosting and self-distributing.
I am still not a fan of Bandcamp Friday, but it still keeps on happening and this is still the best way to support musicians by buying their music. So, just as a reminder, I have a very large discography available and I’ve also recently reduced the prices on a lot of things, so you can get about 17 hours of music from the past 26 years for under $50. I think that’s a pretty good deal! (Of course you can pay more if you want, and I would absolutely appreciate it if you do.)
Of course, if you’d prefer to support me on a platform other than Bandcamp, the same discography is available for about the same price over on Mirlo, and also my artist page on Subvert has recently been activated as well, although my entire discography is not up there just yet.
