Bandcamp Discover amazing music and directly support the artists who make it.

I don't know how "midnight to midnight PST" converts to UK time, but it's Bandcamp Friday on, er, Friday, where Bandcamp waive their share so artists/labels get more; and sometimes artists/labels offer special deals for the day. bandcamp.com

thanks; found it just now by logging on to my personal neglected mastodon and also saw the efdss's own notice on their mastodon account; I'll deactivate this and personal; mastodon now just seems to be a boneyard of fossils, appropriately.
