Three months of no posts! I’m sorry. But I’ve got a good excuse…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month I released my 13th studio album, Underneath These Dying Stars<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve got a lot to share with you, but I thought I’d start with something relatively painless and uncontroversial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When’s the last time you sat down and actively listened to an album along with dozens of other fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For someone like me who doesn’t perform and doesn’t go to shows to protect my hearing, that basically never happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when it does, it can be magical. Listening attentively with others facilitates a deeper connection to the music and turns the release into an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of a Bandcamp listening party, there’s no reason not<\/em> to do it! It’s totally free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My biggest fear was that nobody would show up. Or worse, only one or two people. Now that<\/em> could get awkward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bandcamp does everything possible to reduce the sting of that unlikely event. There’s no listener count visible to attendees and no way for anyone but you to view the chat afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it’s over, it’s over. Nothing is left behind, unlike with a YouTube Premiere<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Convinced? Allow me to walk you through the rather straightforward process of hosting your own Bandcamp listening party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you create or edit any release on Bandcamp, you’ll see this option:<\/p>\n\n\nBandcamp Listening Party Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
