Damn, BandCamp was the only place I felt comfortable spending money on music.
I don’t want to buy t-shirts and shit or anything physical, I just wanna send artists some cash damnit.
ha ha what the fuck
they were one of the few web companies i didn’t completely fucking loathe
This sucks!. Bandcamp was one of the few indie things out there. It sucks how everything most be forced into the borg-like collective on of the six MEGACORPS online!

youtube-dl or yt-dlp also work (in addition to working on youtube and hundreds of other sites). I assume all these tools will break soon as they’ll probs get rid of full album previews all together…
