Bandcamp have recently made some default pricing changes and based on their reasoning I have opted to change my own pricing strategy (as hinted at previously). Previously I had a kind of complicated and largely vibes-based approach to pricing, but it was doing me no favors. From now on, all of my albums will be $1/track up to $9, and individual songs will be $1.50/track, with occasional exceptions for certain considerations.

Anyway, for this Bandcamp Friday, you can get 25% off anything in my catalog (including my full discography, which is also always discounted) with the discount code “MAYDAY25.”

Also, as usual, here’s some of the stuff I’ll be buying this month:

• The music of Alex Graey
• The music of YonKagOr
• Deadnames by PER INK (not to be confused with my album of the same name, gee it’s like we’re both trans or something)

And here’s some of my other recommendations for things I already own:

• Baby Trans by Kookie
• Tiger Pop Ten by John Brodeur
• Birthday Cake and MEEMS by Miracles of Modern Science
• Expert in a Dying Field by The Beths
• Things Take Time, Take Time by Courtney Barnett

To that end, I have a new album out, which you might be interested in if you’re seeing this post.

Other than that, there’s what I’ll be buying today:

• The entire discography of Vulthra
• I’ll be doing catchup on err:Rawr’s discography
• And the entire discography of Balance Lost, a Song Fight!er of note

Sharing is caring!

I of course have my latest album, Transitions, and quite a few other albums available, including with a deep discount if you opt to buy my entire discography all at once.

There are also a lot of other artists that I think you should consider supporting!

Here are the things I’m planning on buying this month:

• The Recollection by 46bliss

  46bliss is one of those bands that I learned about in the early days of CDBaby, and I loved their original album, “Pistachio Home.” They’re a band I lost track of after that release, and I’m surprised to learn they’re still around! Several of the songs on The Recollection are remixes or remasters of songs from Pistachio Home but there’s also a lot of new-to-me songs on it as well.

  They have a bunch of other albums that have come out in the interim but they don’t appear to be available anywhere at the moment.

• err:Rawr’s latest releases

  He has released a bunch of stuff since the last time I updated my collection of his work. He’s a good bean and a fellow member of the Red Means Recording Patreon Discord.

• Astronomy Nights by Whispering Cosmos

  I don’t know a lot about this artist and I’m not sure how it ended up on my list, but that’s fine. I could always use more chill ambient music in my life.

• reflections by lowercase t

  This artist is a friend of mine who is always the first to support others, and they are, again, a good bean. Their music is also great, with these fun lush soundscapes that are also full of delicious dissonance and weird processed vocals that give it an uncanny feeling of being music from another universe.

• Novembeat 2024 by BackspinZX

  Another good bean, who I also know from the Red Means Recording community. I always especially love supporting people who produce music for Novembeat, especially when it’s as high-quality as this.

• Novembeat 2024 by Harder Wins

  This is aggressively minimal beat-based music, and it’s also Novembeat, one of only two submissions this year.

• moult’s discography

  Hey look, it’s another furry musician who refuses to stick to a single genre. I especially like Cupples.

I also have plenty of other recommendations from months past (I will eventually backfill them onto this site), and for even more independent music, you could just look at my Bandcamp collection. Which is, uh, quite large.
