Anyway stop using spotify and become a Bandcamp weirdo

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday and they waive all fees so 100% of what you pay goes to the artists

The goal of Spotify’s algorithm isn’t to help you discover new music, its goal is simply to keep you listening for as long as possible. It serves up the safest songs possible to keep you from pressing stop.

Since I canceled #Spotify, I’ve been using the subscription’s money to purchase 1-2 albums a month. This month’s pick is #queensofthestoneage Villains. Get in my ears right now! #supportArtists

Since I canceled my Spotify subscription, I've been purchasing music with that same budget—so 1-2 albums a month— #PhysicalMedia or digital. I have a long list, but this month I think I'll get the new #BrightEyes album.

#SupportArtists and #BuyMusic on #Bandcamp maybe.

Exactly this! “I prefer any physical format to streaming, which often feels like dunking my head in a slop bucket.”

Sure, you can have millions of songs at your fingertips. But can Spotify mail you a hand-drawn thank you note? Priceless, if you ask me. #SupportArtists #MusicDiscovery #IndieMusic
Real photo of a CD I got in the mail with a personalized note from the band.

Weekend: Playing with the cat after binge-eating spiked ice cream. Reading comic books in the toilet until legs become numb. Walking the streets, but without a reason. Listening to old CDs.
