    You may or may not have seen my post this morning about Bandcamp over at stevelawson.net.

    Since posting it, I’ve had lots of tweets from friends whose music is on it, so let’s start a directory of entries – post a link to your bandcamp page in the comments, with a little bit of info about you and your connection to me (just so it doesn’t become a music-spam-fest – there’s no special criteria for being included, other than some kind of link – twitter-friends, gig buddies, blog readers etc… all are fine :) ) and I’ll grab the embed code from your site and add it here, creating a little online shop :)

    here are my 3 bandcamp albums so far:

  • To The Left Of The Mainstream - recommend some music!

    You may or may not know that I have another twitter account - To The Left Of The Mainstream – that is all about recommending new music by people you’re less likely to have heard of. The ‘left of the mainstream’ bit is not in terms of style, but exposure.

    So this thread, which I hope will run and run, is for you to recommend some music, post links, embed videos from youtube… generally use it to pimp the lesser-known music that you think is AWESOME. Not just your mates music (though clearly if your friends are indeed awesome, please post!)

    So, start by having a read through and listen to the bands I’ve already listed there, then post away!

    (NB, TTLOTM also has a facebook page.)
