What it do, my jewels, gems, and assorted precious metals? It's the first What's Good of the month, which means it's also Bandcamp Friday, so while we still can I'd definitely recommend copping some of the new heat on deck from the artists directly, so all the funds hit their pockets. I'll have plenty of links for you in the new music section, but let's knock out some Bonus Beats first.
Bonus Beats
Before we do anything else, I can't send y'all off to buy a buncha music from Bandcamp without letting you know about what you can do for the workers in the wake of its sale to Songtradr. According to an internal announcement to staff following Epic's sale, Songtradr would be offering positions to some Bandcamp employees, but not all. To be frank, Bandcamp as a platform would not be what it is without the hard work of its employees. If Songtradr's CEO truly believes that "There's not a need to change [Bandcamp] into anything other than what it is" then he should negotiate with their employees in good faith. Do me a favor and before you check out anything below, sign this petition urging Songtradr to come to the table with Bandcamp United.
