Am 5. Juni (und am 3. Juli – jeweils am 1. Freitag des Monats) ist wieder Bandcamp Day, alle Einnahmen gehen direkt an die Musiker*innen bzw. Label:
We recognize that plenty of music fans are also seeing their livelihoods disrupted by this virus, but if you’re lucky enough to be in a position to spare some funds (or find yourself in that position in the coming months), please consider sharing your good fortune by buying music and merchandise directly from artists on Bandcamp. On June 5 and July 3, Bandcamp’s share of sales will also go to the artists and labels you choose to support, and as always, it will reach them in 24-48 hours.
If you already have all the music and merchandise you want from your favorite artists, consider discovering new favorites via our editorial publication, Bandcamp Daily — our best-of’s are a great place to start. Bandcamp Discover is another solid way to find new favorites, and browse our inventory of over 800,000 unique physical items, including vinyl, cassettes, and more. You can also send your favorite music and merch to a friend (there’s a “send as gift” option below every item on an album page and in your collection), or give them a Bandcamp gift card and let them make their own selections.
Finally, most of the items on Bandcamp have an option to pay more than the asking price, and leave a note for the artist. A tip and words of support are always appreciated, but especially so now.

ich habe von den Bestellungen vom 1. Mai zwar erst eine aus Frankreich und eine von fünf oder sechs aus den USA erhalten … anscheinend bedient USPS die Schweiz derzeit nur alle paar Wochen mal per Schiffscontainer – ich bleibe geduldig, bestelle aber eher nichts mehr aus Übersee …
