doc<p><strong>Bandcamp and Musicians Raise Money for Victims Of the LA Wildfires</strong></p><p>In lieu of their typical #BandcampFriday, Bandcamp is donating 100% of their proceeds to victims of the LA Wildfires. You can read more about that <a href="https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/a-list-of-special-releases-benefiting-wildfire-relief" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>, along with a list of albums and merchandise being sold to also raise funds. </p><p>Several independent artists are also releasing benefit albums and compilations, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorites below. Remember, if you buy these albums today (February 7th), more money will go directly to the victims because Bandcamp is sharing their revenue too:</p><p><strong><a href="https://goodmusiccomp.bandcamp.com/album/good-music-to-lift-los-angeles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Good Music To Lift Los Angeles:</a></strong></p><p>A 90-song compilation featuring Dirty Projects, K.
