I saw City of Sound for the first time at Dragon Con last year and bought Silent Empire—which they wrote and released over several years—a few days later. I've listened to it a hundred times since then. They had an amazing live show and I really get behind their independent, "fandependent" work ethic. Sadly, it does not look like they are back this year.
listening to the repo man soundtrack... i didn't love the movie but i continue to love the tracks...!
"Spotify's effective payout averages roughly $0.003 to $0.005 per stream... By contrast, Bandcamp pays artists roughly 82% of each sale. A direct $10 album sale can exceed revenue from thousands of streams. Buying music or books directly from artists, whether physical or DRM-free digital, is one of the most direct ways to support them."
Artists are likely better off when you #buy one album (and #pirate the rest) than from your #streaming #subscription!

"Every dot is a real subway train. Eight hundred of them, give or take, form a small jazz combo (walking bass, piano, sax, vibes, brushes) that has been playing without pause for over a hundred years. On the platforms they are hot, screaming, full of complaint. This is the music inside the noise."
Listening to 2014 albums today, and I am reminded how sad I am that Casualties of Cool turned out to be a one-and-done project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTW0Uf-34BA
