Shadowbanned on Bandcamp

A friend alerted me to something worthy of inspection
All my Bandcamp albums disappeared from her collection
Furthermore, when she searched for me, it was as she feared
None of my 29 albums appeared
You’ll find something, alright, as many folks have boasted
But if you look a little closer, it’s nothing that I’ve posted
Cover songs and compilations, nothing else will show
That’s how it works with this kind of shadowban, you know
Shadowbanned – did I say something wrong?
Shadowbanned – just try searching for this song
If you want to censor artists there are an awful lot
Of different ways to do it, whether obvious or not
You can use algorithms of so many different kinds
Or just make sure for certain music you can search but never find
You can search for other people, they'll come up just fine
In fact the only albums that won't come up are mine
I'm feeling very special, but I wish someone would say
Why they need to make me feel so special in this way

David Rovics recommends:
A Hand Full Of Songs
by Jim Page
Seattle's Jim Page is one of the very best songwriters in the English language (and just as oriented towards what we might call the world around him as I am).

Ryan Harvey of Baltimore is another of my favorite songwriters, writers and organizers on the planet.

Heart First Aid Kit
by Grace Petrie & the PC Brigade
Moving across the pond, here's one more of my favorite rabble-rousing songwriters -- Grace Petrie.

All of this album is just great. But Storm to Weather is just an amazing sing along track that is always a joy to hear live.

Anthemic and hook-laden folk-rock from Grace Petries is full of both good humor and wryly poetic observations on life and love.

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock.
