​SUBTHOUGHT: does it really matter? I don't think anyone is reading this anyway...

Yes, three of my own are in there and no, I won't apologise for that.

These are in alphabetical order by artist only.
To rank these on a scale of 1-100 would not only be an exercise in masochism, but also unfair to the albums themselves, as my preference to one over another is completely subjective to whatever is going on in my life at any given time.

This message is intended to notify you that this Friday (2/3/17), Bandcamp (the site through which I sell my music) will be donating 100% of their portion of profits of sales on their site to the ACLU. 

"This Friday, for any purchase made on Bandcamp, we will donate 100% of our share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working to oppose last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States. Please read more about our position here, and help us spread the word."


I support this WHOLEHEARTEDLY, and I am writing to suggest that if you have not purchased any of my music from them, now is the perfect opportunity. I will also be donating half of my share of the profits on Friday to the ACLU as well, and my portion is significantly larger than Bandcamp's portion. (they make 15% and I make 85%)

If you do not want to buy my music, then please, buy somebody else's from Bandcamp; there's plenty of wonderful and talented artists to listen to on that platform.
