For many, selling just one album on Bandcamp is equivalent to more than a year of cumulative streams on Spotify, Apple Music, and the like. This Friday is Bandcamp Friday: a time-limited event during which the platform takes no commission on album sales. Buy an album for $10, and $10 will end up in the artists' bank accounts. Until now, I've been sharing my recommendations on Bluesky. But, now that I have a brand new website, I might as well put it to good use to direct you to what I consider to be the best video game music from the last few weeks (in other words: since the last Bandcamp Friday in early April). Of course, the albums I [previously recommended in my threads](https://bsky.app/profile/nowplaying.cool/post/3mgf2egvpls2n) are also still available for sale, and I can only encourage you to check them out too!
