3 years at Bandcamp, nearly 100 records & an entire union later, and laid off without so much as a peep from (ex) leadership. Please continue to support artists. Buy music at every turn. Hire my beautiful colleagues and hit me up for all your vinyl needs. Artists first forever.

This is an incredibly important interview.
The sort of future we all have depends on a widespread understanding of the issues

touches on with Anand Giridharadas.
A highly recommended read.
The tender words that folks have been extending have made it a bit easier to watch as the thing we’ve loved the most is publicly shredded to pieces by a few men with a lot of money. Thank you for your continued support. Artists first forever.

I turn 33 today & I just figured out why I’ve always loved my birthday so much (besides gifts, which I still accept). I’ve grown up with anxiety and depression in some form. My birthday is the one day where there’s literally no room for it. Happy birthday to ME! Go to therapy :)
Bandcamp will make vinyl records for 10,000 artists, offering musicians a path into the physical format that is defying the trends of the streaming era.
Today's the day. Wanted to share this video again and remind you that this is a game to so many people. They run because they want power but won't stand up to power because it's inconvenient. They're fine not defunding the police and that means they're fine with people dying.
It has come to my attention that VNYL is still sending notes out in my name. I have not worked there for at least 4 years. After I left (amicably), the founder called me and screamed at me for 30 minutes, telling me I had done nothing for that company in my 4 years (!!!) there.
After dozens of successful pilot campaigns and thousands of records shipped, we’re now opening our vinyl pressing service to the wider Bandcamp community. Details here:
My Grammy just called me to let me know that Death Cab for Cutie is going to be on one of the late night shows tonight. It’ll be on too late for her to watch it so she figured she’d let me know. Sobbing
15 years ago I went on a trip to Europe and I bought my boyfriend a Led Zeppelin shirt on the street near the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
When I got home I broke up with him. Now I wear the shirt to bed every time I come to my parents house.
Moral of the story is Led Zeppelin rules.
Today on my flight:
•I made friends with Carol
•Carol’s 95-year-old mom collapsed and died in the aisle next to us
•the woman next to her started vomiting (my phobia)
•two queens saved Carol’s mom
•I walked out of the bathroom to see my cat strutting down the aisle
Devastated to be leaving Stockholm today after the week of a lifetime. Thank you for having me and holding me Sweden, you are magic. I will see you again.
We at Bandcamp United are happy to announce that we’ve won our union, 31 to 7! We’re excited to work with leadership to build a better Bandcamp! Thank you all for your support throughout this process, and in the future.
So
@digitalurn
and I started a podcast about favorite albums and it has been a damn treat. We’re getting to know each other through music, which is what brought us together as friends in the first place; please join us on this journey!
I want an apology from every single person (man) who has been laughing since 2016, saying we were overreacting and asking us what we’re worried about. Claiming he won’t reeeeally change anything. Donate your fucking savings to your local abortion fund and go fuck yourself
Some guy just tried to yell at me for stealing his parking spot because I was so fast he didn’t see me coming.
I did steal it, but I also won. Stay woke fam.

@AndrewWK
Throughout my entire candidacy people have said things like, "Albert is too angry all the time" and "Albert is great but he cusses too much. He needs to be more professional"
I've taken all those things to heart and I now present my promise to you.
No cussing!
Shout out to autocorrect for changing my “keep em coming!” response in my family group chat to “keep me coming!” which is not, in fact, a remotely appropriate way to respond to anything in a family group chat, much less wholesome pictures of my niece and nephew
My best friend in the entire world died today. He was a lover and a goof and every non-cat-lover who met him admitted that he ruled. There will never be another loaf quite like him.
Hey what's up everyone! I started a new podcast with my homie
