I have 170 albums in my Bandcamp collection. I have a lot more on my mp3 collection which I have bought via other means. Each album is maybe $10 on average, so that is around $1700. I have used Bandcamp for around 8 years after 7digital closed their EU store and eMusic became trash. So that's around $17 per month. Not a lot of money in my book, music means a lot to me!
So much this! I don't use Spotify, I buy all my music on Bandcamp. Sometimes I buy an album after just hearing the first song because I find it interesting, but then after a few more listens I realize that the album is not what I thought it was. However, I'm already committed because I paid for it, and it now sits at the top of my collection, so I continue to listen to it. Sometimes it turns out I find qualities in the music that I didn't notice at the first listen, and I learn to like it. Sometimes not, and I ditch it.
This was also the way I discovered music before Spotify even existed, I just never changed my habits (I just used other services than Bandcamp back then). I think more people should try turning off the algorithmic entertainment faucet that is Spotify and try committing a bit more to the music that they listen to. Also, a lot more money goes to the artists this way, Spotify is basically stealing from the artists.
I think it was John Erlichman who served under Nixon who said that. Whether that’s true is actually disputed though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs#20th_century
I agree that both Nixon’s and Reagan’s policies on drugs were pretty harmful though.
I’m going to call it “eggs”. A tweet is now an “egg” and tweeting is “egging”.
Text is in both languages. This is common because the countries share a long border.
But there’s a picture of cheese next to the text!
Edit: it also says “cheese aroma” (“ostarom”) in Swedish.
I bought a good inkjet printer because I like taking photos and printing them in physical form, so I can hang them in the house or give them as gifts.
I’m not logged in because I don’t want any suggestions! I’m using ReVanced of course.
