Yeah lol thats the one I'm considering too actually!!! Damn tempting

 

Yeah I looked at all their stuff this morning and I'm going to go through it all!

 

How are you going to pay rent at home? You really need to start helping

 

@littlejohn Sorry buddy. Not trying to get anyone in trouble.

 

You didn't want to be another casualty to society?

xxxhardcorexxx

 

What's the appeal if any from ordering off of their website directly? When they're 50% off most of them are the same cost or cheaper on Amazon still.

Plus free shipping for Prime members. I'm legitimately asking, because maybe there is some benefit to ordering from their site directly

 

I was originally going to say that but I don't want to be too predictable

 

How are tapes suddenly up in popularity?

Records make complete sense, tapes do not. Someone please explain

 

does streaming a super short song give the artist the same amount of a penny as streaming a long song?

 

I am 99% sure the song length doesn't matter.

 

that's just what they told you.

 

One thing for sure, my 15k song streams paid me practically nothing. I'd have to have like 100x that for me to notice

EDIT: Whoops, i'm talkin' Spotify not Bandcamp.

 

God damn hipsters

 

I won’t stand for any National slander in here

 

Where? Tag me please

 

That seems...impossible

 

was it your back yard?

 

LONG LIVE BANDCAMP

 

For a band who has been active in "the scene" for almost 15 years and peaked about 12 years ago, that's actually quite impressive in my opinion. Most of the bands from that scene have all broken up and not been able to go on with it as a career, and they have done a great job of keeping themselves relevant and able to continue doing what they love. I also think it's good for them not to book beyond their means. I've seen a lot of bands book places far too large, and it's sad to see.

 

There's been a tape revival going on for a little while now. Did you know there's even a Cassette Store Day lol

Cassette Store Day - Wikipedia

 

They should open for you so kevo will do a road trip

 

They’ve gone on record saying they prefer the intimate small crowd venues. Easier to hang out with/interact with fans after in their opinion. And they love doing that

 

This is cool and awesome artwork too:

Mythless (Jason of Fang Island) releasing debut EP on Joyful Noise (hear a track)

 

You get to accumulate some sweet sweet points when you buy directly from them that you can redeem as cash that discounts your order further. Also on facebook I remember if you liked and followed them you got 10$ off any order which was cool so I've always just gotten my stuff directly from them. But yeah I know Amazon and Barnes & Nobles also carry their stuff and have that 50% sale twice a year but I don't know I like getting it directly from them. More out of habit than anything at this point tho.
