Selling Bandcamp
Thank god, keep your grimy paws off my music, Sweeney.
Monkey’s paw: Google buys it
At the same time, Epic is divesting itself of Bandcamp, a deeply strange acquisition in the first place. It’s being sold to Songtradr.
Not today, monkey’s paw.
Tomorrow: Songtradr joins the Koch Media family
Thank fucking god they’re selling Bandcamp before they had a chance to ruin it🙏
Now it’ll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it
The Bandcamp sale is hopefully good news. Songtradr looks like they’re just in the music business and don’t (from their Wikipedia page) have any obviously dodgy investors.
They also bought 7digital.com this year, which is a site I sometimes buy MP3s from since they have a better selection of mainstream record-label stuff than Bandcamp (no Amazon MP3s here in Canada).
The effects of the SVB bankruptcy are still rippling out.
Also, I thought Apple owned Bandcamp.
