In all, some 800,000 items were sold, versus the standard 47,000."

"We’ll continue working to make Bandcamp the best place for fans and artists to come together and sustain each other in the challenging times ahead." Well, the online music company is doing just that on Friday, May 1st. More details will be shared next Monday, April 27th. Until then... start making your shopping lists. " -
