Mark Chadbourne distribution hosted by Bandcamp

Great news! I've signed with Bandcamp to sell my next album directly to fans. Will work to get past releases there as well.

Bandcamp is a publishing platform for musicians. Bandcamp both hosts and provides musicians to stream full music tracks and albums to distribute their music. It also provides the platform for fanbase management and statistics, digital distribution, search engine optimization, web programming, audio transcoding, server scalability and internet marketing. As an independent online music store, as well as a platform for artist promotion, Bandcamp caters mainly to independent artists. All tracks can be played for free on the website (albeit, streams only at 128kb Mp3). Artists have control on the price of the tracks and albums. Some artists offer "pay what you can afford" options or "pay more" on products that are discounted by the artist. Associated "bonus" tracks, artwork, mechandise, "hidden" items are also accomodated. And another nice feature is that artists can create coupons, and access to tracks for broadcasters and producers.

okay quick note of explanation ... all the tracks are STREAMED as mp3s...but fans have a choice of purchase for the full lossless tracks in a variety of formats for the same price point: WAV, FLAC, Apple Lossless, AAC and Ogg Vorbis etc

You can listen to and shop for my music when the site is up and running at: http://markchadbourne.bandcamp.com/
