Friends, this is Stuart Argabright from Black Rain. I’m thrilled to share an upcoming edition of Black Rain’s Obliteration Bliss today. It’s a record rooted in speculative futures and unsteady pasts. I am grateful to have had a small hand in shaping this offering. Check it at our BC page.

hey @bandcamp.com — there's a company called en.mygomp3.com that's spamming your site, creating fake accounts and linking to mp3s they don't own but host on their site. I know this bc they did it to me -> bill-orcutt.bandcamp.com Can someone have a look? I'm sure yr security team would be interested
