#091 Thoughts On Bandcamp

Solo pod today... thoughts on the developing situation over at Bandcamp, both on the platform itself and its position in the ecosystem. I read a whole load of stuff so you don't have to:https://components.one/posts/bandcamp-the-chaos-bazaarhttps://components.one/posts/tactility-and-experiencehttps://www.fastcompany.com/90951664/bandcamp-spotify-vinyl-renaissancehttps://www.midiaresearch.com/blog/recorded-music-market-2022-reality-biteshttps://pitchfork.com/thepitch/is-bandcamp-as-we-know-it-over/https://firstfloor.substack.com/p/first-floor-190-waiting-for-the-otherhttps://firstfloor.substack.com/p/bandcamp-anxietyhttps://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/https://www.theverge.com/23899461/discogs-sellers-vinyl-cds-community-feesIf you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - "Solidarity" for $4 a month, which features regular bonus podcasts and extra content. And "Musicality" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else. Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation there in the public channels, so please do!
