Bandcamp takes a stand against AI music, banning it from the platform | TechCrunch

"We want musicians to keep making music, and for fans to have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans," the co

Bandcamp’s new guidelines state that music and audio generated “wholly or in substantial part by AI” is not permitted and that it will not allow the use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles.

another win for bandcamp! and friendly reminder about Bandcamp Fridays, the first friday of every month, when the platform waives its fees so more money goes directly to the artists youre supporting, and often they run charity drives as well

Previous poll remade because I forgot a whole century the first time, this is what I get for doing this on mobile LOL

Think of the oldest song that you know by heart — can sing the melody and any words it has from memory, without looking it up. Search the name of it in Wikipedia, looking for when it was first documented with both the melody and (if applicable) lyrics you know, together. When is it ACTUALLY from? (If it’s way newer than you think, you can’t switch to an older song. Answer based on this one you initially THOUGHT was the oldest.)

20th century (1900s) or later

19th century (1800s)

18th century (1700s)

17th century (1600s)

15th-16th centuries (1400s-1500s)

13th-14th centuries (1200s-1300s)

11th-12th centuries (1000s-1100s)

First millennium CE (if you are not a musician, no you don't, go back)

It's the Seikilos Epitaph (circa 1st century CE), oldest complete melody found

Voting ended onJan 3

I am a music historian with a PhD and the point of this poll is that the vast majority of people don’t actually know much music from pre-1500s or so, and most music that people think is ancient or medieval is actually far more recent.

There are no options before the first millennium CE because the Epitaph of Seikilos is the oldest complete work of music found anywhere in the world, and it's around 2000 years old. If you think you know something older than that, either only the text was written down (e.g. Biblical, Vedic and Greco-Roman hymns) or it only exists in fragments (e.g. the Hurrian hymns and Orestes stasimon). Which is to say, it does not count for this.

If it fits into a few of these potential time frames, pick the one that's considered the most likely. If historians genuinely have no fucking clue, THEN you can go back and try with another really old song.

Boost this one please! Now that I've finally got it right and the spread actually makes some sense, I'd like to see what happens when more people take it :)

[technekratos]

Poll is closed sadly, but chipping in "Hélas madame", from at least the 1400s.

Sadly I couldn't find the purported origins of "Dúlamán", which also came to mind as a potentially old one, and likewise for "Ani Couni Chaouani" which tbh could very well be the oldest by far, though I can't know. Alas, the CBC episode where its origin was explored as not been archived :(

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

[toskarin]

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

[imsobadatnicknames2]

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

I saw a lot of people reblogging this with my addition two days ago and now I'm afraid some of them might have thought it was bandcamp friday that day lol. So for anyone with post timestamps turned off: I made that addition on Friday March 7th 2025. Bandcamp fridays always fall on the first friday of the month (when they do them) so the next one should fall on April 4th

[lensdeer]

The next Bandcamp Friday is on May 2nd, 2025! You can use this page to check how long until the next one :3

The remaining ones this year are:

May 2nd

August 1st

September 5th

October 3rd

December 5th

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger 2001

"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a song by French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 13 October 2001 as the fourth single from their second studio album Discovery. A live version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" was released as a single from the album Alive 2007 on 15 October 2007. This version won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2009. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 132 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is built around a bouncy keyboard riff sampled from the 1979 track "Cola Bottle Baby" by the funk musician Edwin Birdsong.

The animated music video for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" was produced by Daft Punk and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, director for Toei Animation, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The video was first released as an individual episode in promotion for the single release. It later appeared as a scene in the 2003 anime musical science fiction film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.

Kanye West's 2007 Grammy-awarded hit "Stronger" prominently features a sample of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". The song received a diamond certification in the US from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021, three years before being certified 11 times platinum by the RIAA.

"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is featured in the 2007 Youtube viral video Daft Hands, which shows a pair of hands moving to reveal each word of the song's lyrics. In 2010, Time magazine included Daft Hands in a list of "Youtube's 50 Best Videos". The video inspired numerous remakes including the variant Daft Bodies; both videos, along with other viral videos, were referenced in Weezer's "Pork and Beans" music video.

"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" received a total of 87,7% yes votes! Previous Daft Punk polls: #231 "Around the World".
