This past week one of my favorite bands, Seattle’s La Luz were involved in a tour ending accident. You can show your support by donating and purchasing their music. Speaking of buying music, if you’ve found purchasing music from your favorite bands to be prohibitively difficult in the age of the smartphone, well you’re in luck; bandcamp has a new app that simplifies the process greatly. Get the app and buy music so that people can keep making the music you love. Thanks for listening.
