Para um album com 10 músicas e 4 singles (nesta era do digital às vezes é difícil dizer se uma música é um single ou não, se calharam foram só 3 singles, mas foram quatro videoclips...), seria de esperar que as pérolas estivessem todas escolhidas, mas o (ainda) último álbum de Marilyn Manson, One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1 (ainda porque o Chapter 2 já tem data de lançamento marcada para agosto) tem pelo menos mais uma joia ali bem escondida - com mais de 6 minutos é uma música demasiado longa para ser radio friendly, e então agora na era do streaming as músicas querem-se é muitas mas curtas, e no entanto "Sacrifice Of The Mass", a balada com que termina o álgum, é uma verdadeira pérola, e como nesta #musiquinta se fala de joias perdidas... aqui fica:

Marilyn Manson - Sacrifice Of The Mass

It's no secret I have been publishing a couple of things on ADC, and now there's a 20% discount you might want to enjoy from the label's bandcamp, until the end of June:

Para esta #musiquinta #rural, escolho música campestre alpina:

Sturmpercht – Stechapfelnacht

(aviso: pode conter diabretes campinos)

So, I follow a band. On bandcamp. I got this message from them:

Hello dearest Bandcamp followers,

Just wanted to drop in give you a special wee thank you for following and supporting us through Bandcamp. You lot truly are the realest of the real, directly interacting with our music like this is what makes the difference for a band.

In the age of streaming and social media virality campaigns, it’s fans like you guys that really keep the lights on.

We have just released our new single [...]

I like it. It makes sense to me. Only...

...well, after praising their bandcamp followers and saying how nice it all is, the link to the new single should be pointing to bandcamp, right? No, it's a linkfire pointing to mainstream streaming and digital musical platforms: spotify, youtube and youtube music, apple music and itunes store, amazon music...

So what good is your nice prose to praise your bandcamp followers, if you're just buttering them up to go find your stuff elsewhere? I fell like this message would have felt more honest and genuine if they started straight in the "We have just released our new single" part...
