My Bandcamp page is once again live!
animeraider.bandcamp.com/

To celebrate here is a exclusive, codes for free music! Specificially, my album "hug your local shark", released at the beginning of this year and made up of the singles released in 2021.

To redeem, go to animeraider.bandcamp.com/yum and input one of the following codes. They only work a few times, so if the code you pick doesn't work try another. If none work reply to this thread.

20 Codes in the reply to this post!

I'm going to put up some free codes when I relaunch my bandcamp page later today (or tomorrow, depending upon your time zone). Free downloads until they run out of the album I released last January, "hug your local shark". This will be a exclusive.

Stay tuned.

When I started creating playlists on Spotify my first thought was create a list of 20 important songs from each year, starting with the only in which I was born. Here are the 20 songs I picked from 1966. This is the first year when I started being aware that I had songs I like, and that it was my parents who made me listen to them:

I've spent the past few days rebuilding my page. I plan to re-launch it on monday.

Tell your friends. I will be posting some free download codes exclusively on this site.

It’s a cover of a mashup of a cover!!!

I've really gotten into Pomplamoose this past year, and they've just released an album of Daft Punk covers, including this cover of Pentatonix's mashup/cover. Enjoy!

Here are the 20 songs I picked from 1965. This is when you realize that some of your favorite songs of the '80s are actually remakes of their favorite songs of the '60s:

If you're my age and of my crowd, you probably danced to this at some point.

Should do that again.

Nega Santos (of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Cory Wong bands) has a solo album out. It's worth your time. I love this track.

You know, I don't think I ever posted this here. On April 24th of this year I was invited to an event that has a piano in an open hall. I proceeded to record an entire album in secret, which I released in early summer called "Thousand Year Event". All piano, all improvised.

1 Song. 4 Mixes. A 5th for the video.

"Elusive Green" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders, out January 3rd. On select radio stations in December. Get ready to dance!

The Grammy noms are out, and for the most part they're pretty boring. Taylor Swift got a lot less than I thought she should. But real, honest congrats to Tank and Da Bangas. Their album is fucking great.

I wasn't nominated. Aww.

Every year I ask the same question, first asked by the late Walt Kelly. Honoring our veterans is fine and just, but why did we have to cancel Armistice Day to do it?

Coming soon.
