Tomorrow will be day 20 of a shipped record bouncing around in USPS. It left Kansas on June 3rd, arrived in Detroit June 11th and tracking shows it hasn't moved since June 15th. I guess I'll........wait some more.
Another 12+ day USPS delivery. I can't help but worry about the state of a record that has been kicking around for almost half a month since it left the warehouse.
It's another Bandcamp Free Friday; a great day to show support for some lesser-known artists who could really use it. Like this batch of underground Michigan bands for instance.
Does anybody have a good source for downloadable WAV samples? Looking to add tuned percussion to my Alesis Sample Pad Pro. (Steel drums, specifically) Not looking for free necessarily, just want a viable trusted source, especially if I'm going to pay for them.
USPS has really been slow lately. My last four media mail packages had tracking info that gave me early hope by displaying a delivery date, only for that date to pass, then revert to no date given for about a week. The latest is my New West order. I am happy that nothing has been lost so far though.
Here's a Bandcamp Label to consider today. It's all Michigan independent bands featuring an eclectic mix of 80s punk, 90s jam band, plus some ska, singer-songwriter, Americana, and rock. Mostly digital content, but there is some physical merch and vinyl as well.
