Your whole purchase is going to the artists today. I bought the Hades II soundtrack by Darren Korb and "Warrior of the Mind" from Jorge Rivera-Herrans' Odysseus musical EPIC.

Turns out Songtradr was the good guys, especially when compared to what's been going on with Spotify, don't you think?
@soundclamp@mastodon.xyz#NowPlaying Did anybody get this 4 × cassette box set from W2F aka Matt Wand (Stock, Hausen, and Walkman) which appeared with five hours to go on #BandcampFriday?
@harrysentonbury@social.linux.pizzasome decent fucking punk for #bandcampFriday

@pgcd@mastodon.onlineOh wow, #bandcampFriday and I haven't done anything new in more than a year. It's almost as if I gave up. Which I did.
Still, it's Bandcamp Friday so if you're in a good mood, allow me to do something about it
