Thanks for the above, blundebuss!

Here is something in return: Tuluum Shimmering - Bird Song

Antagon (and everybody else, why not), you might wanna check this out:

Anne Waldman, Guro Moe, Deb Googe, Håvard Skaset, Ambrose Bye, and Devin Brahja Waldman - Extinction Aria pt II

"Extinction Aria" (Part I) is so beautiful as well. I might have heard this mesmerizing text a few months ago (at least in some form), in performances by Anne Waldman with a plethora of great musicians and poets in Mexico. I sure was floored and look back with fondness, love and amazement to those shows (and the whole experience of getting to meet these geniuses). They used a wonderful picture for the cover of this single, too:

I understand both of these tracks are previews of the album "SCIAMACHY", which was intended originally to be released by Montez Press Radio on April 27th, but now who knows because of the pandemic.

I'm resisting the urge to buy both of these Extinction Arias now, and plan on doing so on May 1st, when Bandcamp is once again waving its fees in favor of the artists.

I ordered a bunch of stuff from several artists during the last Bandcamp promotion, two orders haven't arrived yet, from FACS and Constellation Records. By no means I'm blaming these artists/labels. There's a statement on the Constellation Records site that reads:
"Please note that due to covid-19 measures, your LP/CD order will not ship until a) public health measures allow our warehouse employees to safely return to work (in Montréal, Canada); b) shipping will not put undue strain on essential services in your destination country/region; c) we feel confident you'll reliably receive your order in a timely fashion once we've sent it out."

Which is bullshit because Constellation Records is and has always been an essential service to me, who cares about medicines and shit, give me my Matana Roberts dammit :rolleyes:

Seriously now, expect some delays in your bandcamp shipments which of course shouldn't hold you down from ordering

Over SIX hours of quarantine recordings!

98 tracks for a “name your price“ download

Attrition
GX Jupiter Larsen
{An} Eel
Mini-Mutations
Dylan Houser
Arvo Zylo


High Risk of Rainbows & Hair Ribbons (I Got the Corona Virus - 19 Blues)

It's the same with Amazon anyway, unless you're ordering dildos. For real:

I was actually a bit surprised to receive a package from Beartown Records last week (Lasse Marhaug's "Gjota" and Sindre Bjerga "Impromptu"), taking this in consideration (this label operates from the UK, and I likely placed my order on the first week of March). I am currently waiting very patiently for packages from Taping Policies (Belgium), Shelter Press (France), God in the Music (New Zealand), The Observatory (Singapore), Thought Forms (UK), Vyctoria and Silencio epi (Mexico). Packages I ordered from the USA during the last month, I've been notified they have arrived to my parents' address over there, but I expect to put my hands on those records until Christmas when my mom visits the family here. Grateful at the moment that Bandcamp would give you .flac files more often than not.

My want-list for May 1st includes some stuff only available as a digital download. Like this recording from Martín Escalante, released by Rata Sorda Rec from Chile:
https://ratasordarec.bandcamp.com/al...mo-en-alta-mar

I like the cover so much, I will print it and make my own CD-R.

Anyway, here's a recommendation for you: Vyctoria, amazing Post-Rock band from Mexico City (some elements of doom and noise especially in the last record, though).

Thank you for sharing this......love the cover!


The Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp: April 2020

I've received about 40 e-mails from artists via Bandcamp today. Prepare for a full onslaught as we go into fees-waiving frenzy...

I've got my shortlist prepared, trying to work out what to pick... (the * is stuff that I have to pay pounds for, and $64.71 is $100 Australian)

Essential:

Half Japanese - Half Gentlemen/Not Beasts
Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls and Marches & "Academy Fight Song" 45. (You already have Vs.?)
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops (only "problem" is you're gonna pine for The Disintegration Loops II, III and IV)
Bikini Kill - Pussy Whipped
Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff

In the last couple of days I received e-mail notifications that items I ordered from labels from France and the UK are now in the mail en route to Mexico. I had even forgotten I purchased stuff from TQ N-aut and Etang Brulant!

Good to see things have relaxed a little bit at the postal services regarding international shipping (may that mean the pandemic is no longer raging over there). So, less frustration this time around about (not) getting your records to listen to, then. :)

Spectral Electric - Pandemic Response Division

53 tracks based on EVPs and Field recordings taken from a variety of pandemic related sites.

From The Wire:



Alan Licht releases unheard collaborations via Bandcamp
Collaborations with Nels Cline, William Hooker, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Aki Onda and Tetuzi Akiyama number among his archival offerings

https://alanlicht.bandcamp.com/

The live performance with Cline and Hooker "was officially a Text of Light show, with Nels substituting for Lee Ranaldo at the last minute".

"SCIAMACHY", new album by Anne Waldman (with a plethora of genius figures of experimental music): https://fastspeakingmusic.bandcamp.com/album/sciamachy

We’ve put together a list of artists and labels preparing special releases for Friday, including those donating their share to organizations in support of racial justice and change.

In addition, on Friday, June 19th, we’re donating 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a racial justice organization with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education. Please read our statement here.


On the "special releases", I'm digging Thrill Jockey's, Chris Forsyth's, and Fire Records'... :)

Anatoly Grinberg & Mark Spybey - Dust Forbids The Birds To Sing......highly recommend for those looking to add something different to their BandCamp on Fee Free Friday! I’m loving the orchestral undertones!!

June 19th fundraiser reminder

Just in time for all of your 4th of July BBQing

And if your community isn’t doing fireworks

https://ryansawyer.bandcamp.com

Ryan Sawyer plays drums and sings. doing covers including Rain On Tin. Just drums and vocals. It's really great. Really.
He subbed for Steve Shelley with Thurston Moore Group a few times.

Yo La Tengo is new and/or now on bandcamp, since yesterday!


with so far two new improvs / dones / studio outtakes

whatever you want to call it



https://yolatengo.bandcamp.com

New issue of Lasse Marhaug's amazing fanzine, "Personal Best", available to pre-order:
https://marhaug.bandcamp.com/merch/personal-best-8

Neat-o!

The mighty World Domination Enterprises!

https://worlddom.bandcamp.com/music

Let's Play Domination still goes down in my books as one of the greatest UK noise-rock albums of the 80s (well worth ten quid of your money), and what they say about the band being "most sensational live band ever to perform in the history of the universe" isn't far wide of the mark.

By the way, has anyone ordered stuff from Japan in the past month or so? And if they have, have they received it (assuming that they've had a shipping notification)?

New message from Alan Licht:

OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE


I can't recommend these guys highly enough! Well worth a try if you've never heard them, if you never have, I would suggest you try with From Somewhere Invisible or Tarab. Their latest TLAMESS is a soundtrack

some of you know this guy, from Dime or Youtube

Here's the trailer video

Bandcamp is now adding a new feature: live stream events for 10 bucks. So far I've received notifications for upcoming performances by Sarah Davachi and Mary Lattimore, but that's of course because I'm following them - there could be many more artists doing these shenanigans.

From Bandcamp Daily:

The easy listening loop that plays as "waiting music" is fuckin' hilarious. Ooohh, Bandcaaamp... :D
