We’re a publishing platform for bands, or, anthropomorphically/arthropodically-speaking, your fifth, fully geeked-out Beatle — the one who keeps your very own website humming and lets you get back to making great music and building your fan base. If this all sounds as highly satisfactory to you as we hope, we invite you to check out the screencast, peruse a site already powered by Bandcamp, or cut straight to the chase and sign up for a free account. Welcome!

Maybe the coolest part about Bandcamp is that you can embed a whole album in your web site. Here is Glen’s latest EP Secrets of the New Explorers. It’s got a groovy sci-fi feel.

Thanks, Glen! And, as usual, you rock.

I’ve got gardens growing, got quiet days
clothes on my back, food on my plate
got friends to help me if I call for them
don’t need anything I don’t have

got eyes to see this beautiful land
feet to take me where I want to stand
if there’s work to be done, I’ve got these two strong hands
I don’t need anything I don’t have
I don’t need anything I don’t have

some years the rains don’t come
some years floods clear out the plains
but if those waters wash this town away
I would still have enough if she was with me

I’ve got a roof overhead, stars if I choose
but I’ve no need to fly, I’ve got no itch to move
got almost nothing, but I understand
that I don’t need anything that I don’t have
I don’t need anything that I don’t have

–Glen Phillips

I heard this tune on the way into my office this morning. It seemed to speak to me about concerns I have had of late — some musical serendipity. Thanks, Glen.
