I sold our CD collection today. It reminded me of the time, nearly thirty years ago, when I sold my cassette collection so that I could eat for a could of weeks when I was unemployed. Today’s sale is much less life-or-death, and merely a way to help absorb my BandCamp costs. It’s not easy being an Artist-Conscious consumer of Music.
This Friday is BandCamp Friday,so it would be a good time to follow my lead. Sell a few CDs you don’t listen to anymore, and get some new Music.
It seems to be a little softer this week, in terms of upcoming New Releases, with one ginger elephant exception in the room, in the personage of one Edward Sheeran.
If you look a little deeper, you’ll see some new titles due from Conway The Machine, M. Ward, The Bomboras, and, yes, Warrant. AOTY seems to think there’s a Smashing Pumpkins album coming every week recently. Personally I was done with them after Gish. Feel free to keep it, Billy.
On my BandCamp Wishlist for this week, I have seven titles I’m waiting to be unveiled. Today I’ll profile Italian composer Samuel Strufaldi, and his upcoming album, Davorio.
Check back, right at this very location for some scintillating musical recommendations to warm your soul. Take care, friends!
