Matt & Jason Raid Each Other’s Bandcamp Collections

CrossFade: The Dueling Album Review Show

What would make you buy digital music in 2022? Is it respect? Curiosity? Guilt? Little bit of all of the above?

That’s what we wanted to know from each other – and why we took a dive into each other’s growing collections to interrogate each other’s music tastes! Matt and Jason each picked five songs from the other’s Bandcamp collection to talk about, poke fun at, or marvel at a new favorite we never would’ve found otherwise. It was a really fun exercise and we hope you enjoy listening to the results!

You can find Jason’s Bandcamp collection at https://bandcamp.com/jasondafnis and Matt’s at https://bandcamp.com/matthelgeson. What’s in yours? Did you discover a new favorite from this episode? What buried gems are we missing? Get in touch at https://twitter.com/minnmaxshow and let us know!

We’d also love it if you’d rate and review the show on iTunes, ‘cause it means more people can find the show and love it, too! You can find Matt and Jason on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MattHelgeson and https://twitter.com/nintendufus respectively and in the #music channel of the MinnMax Discord server.
