How much of a cut does bandcamp usually get?

15%, and it used to be 10% after 5k in annual sales but I don't know if it's the same anymore. But there's also a cut that Paypal takes, so it really adds up!

I don't know if this is allowed, but shameless plug for my old band. We'll be donating ALL proceeds from the sales on the three days (and any time in between) to a local charity that helps out with the homeless/at risk communities.

Thanks

Mogwai were on BBC6 earlier and announced that their latest soundtrack for the show ZeroZeroZero is going to release tomorrow on their bandcamp page and be pay-what-you-want. Half of the proceeds from the first week will be donated to Help Musicians UK and the NHS. 

Mavi is the best part of this release. That track is just too good. 

Also, tan pre-order sold out! Black still seems to be available.

Hey, good joke that was definitely worth making.

Jesus, lighten up. 

Anybody want my copy of the /250 red splatter? I'll trade for a COVID-19 vaccine. 

That video is absolutely atrocious but the track's alright. I feel like he's lost a lot of his classic cynicism and he brings out a lot more cliches lately, but the production reminds me of some of my favourite stuff off the first two albums. There's an interesting mix of features on the track list too! 

Either way, nice to have some new stuff by Skinner in these weird times. 

This album is quite lovely. Incredibly simple, but I like it a lot more than her previous efforts. 

Wew. This was fun! Thanks for the tip on Polyvinyl. 

Picked up the following releases, with some completely unknown stuff that was recommended: 

Just finished the first listen through. The album slaps. I like it better than The Ooz, but I think that's because this one is a lot more concise and doesn't seem to drag. I get why he did it with the Ooz, but this one is much more digestible in one sitting. 

Highlights: Comet Face, Slinky, Airport Antenatal Airplane, Theme for the Cross and Energy Fleets. I like the more relaxed stuff.

I guess this one's about his ex-lover from Barcelona. Crazy to think many of the songs on Ooz were about that, and now not so long after he's got a kid and a girlfriend. Life comes at you fast, man. 

Anyway, great song. The bass line is chunky as hell and I like the overall energy on this one a lot. I do wish he would add more drums to his studio recordings, because the guy who drums for his live shows is incredible. Easy Easy with drums is phenomenal. Excited for Friday! 

I don't know why but I'm so excited for this record. I haven't listened to a lot of this kinda stuff in recent years, but it takes me right back to the "glory days". Ordered a splatter bundle as soon as I saw the news! 

They seem like really nice guys, as well. Looking forward to the day they make it across the border. 

Also, hyped that there's an Eames LCW on the cover.

It's worth it. I have the box, the first box, and a bunch of standalone LPs, and I almost always drag out the box. They sound great.

Yeah, they really do sound great! And they look pretty too. Would recommend to anyone who's a fan of the band.

I've been wanting to pull the trigger on that for way too long (since it came out) but I literally own every single album and have been too lazy to purchase and sell off the others haha. Maybe this new album will motivate me to sooner than later.

I only had Conor's solo albums, because most of the Bright Eyes albums are/were fuuuuuucking expensive here. So it was either I paid ~$40-50 per album, or just plunk down $175 on the set. 

I just bought the boxset before Christmas. Figured it was a healthy decision for my first holidays alone in seven years. Somehow turned out to be a great decision, and I was even more happy to hear this news yesterday! 

Can't wait to hear what they come up with. 

I don't understand why this doesn't come with the DVD it was originally recorded for...

I love you for this. It's been ages since I've been meaning to pick this up! Boomkat's shipping rates are incredible too. THANK YOU!

Already taken care of. I merely wanted to know if anyone else had trouble finding this particular release in a physical store. And if not, if the owner seemed to be aware of it.  That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. Although I should add that part of why I'm asking is because I've talked to multiple shops and they all cited a different release date

Who hurt you? This is the most un-Canadian response I've ever seen. 

FWIW, I haven't seen this at local shops either. I would assume it's just not a popular thing to stock, and since it's a 3LP it might be pretty pricey to ship over if it's just gonna sit in the bins. 

I don't have a cat because I'm allergic. But, this is really nice of you! 
 

Got these in today, they look amazing. But...is anyone else's copy of How Strange, Innocence just two dark blue records? Barely any splatter or colour mix. I thought it was one dark, one light blue but I guess I misunderstood the description. 

Either way, super happy to finally have these in my collection!

named BNM, can’t wait for the flood of plebs to crawl out of the woodworks... 

either way, well deserved.

Man, I can't imagine the feeling of receiving that designation. No matter your opinion of Pitchfork, it must feel great. Good for him! 

The album has some real highlights, as someone who only ever dabbled with his previous stuff. It's a lot more "pop" than before, but I think it works well here.

I have not had any luck hearing back from them... just got a bill (I’m in Canada) from UPS for $168Cdn, which  UPS said wasn’t a customs fee but the remainder of the shipping cost not covered by the sender... 😡 

What? That is fucked. Send it to them. 

I cannot tell you how many times I listened to this album in my angsty teenage years. And I cannot tell you how big of a crush I had on Brody Dalle. 

Fuck yes. Ordered both coloured versions right away! Quite pricey with shipping, but whatever. Will finally have a complete EITS set of full-lengths and $1000 more in my pocket! 

Mockups look amazing too. 

I have an OG copy of this that I found years ago at a local shop, so I can't justify buying it. But the rework track by Kronos Quartet is really lovely! 

I commented on their post for this announcement asking them to reissue "Finally We Are No One" and they said it sadly wasn't up to them. Someone also left a comment on the album's Discogs page saying FatCat has confirmed there will be a reissue in 2019, but that's been said before and nothing ever happens. 

Crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs and balls for it to be true. 
 

I absolutely loved these guys when I was in high school. Their live shows were always so fun and full of energy (especially considering there was only two of them).  I remember seeing them open for the Arctic Monkeys, and fully enjoying their set more than AM. I'm still salty that AM didn't play an encore. 

Anyway, this album was huge for me. I saw them countless other times after the AM show, and I was always trying to get my friends to listen to them. It's too bad this is in GBP though, because with shipping and exchange rates it's way too costly for a single LP
