Hey, friends. It's that time again: Bandcamp Friday. You know the drill, if you buy something from the storefront today, 100 percent of the proceeds of your purchase go towards supporting artists. Bandcamp has been running the promotion on-and-off since 2020 when the pandemic saw musicians unable to make a living off of live shows. We're huge fans here at Engadget and look forward to each and every one as a way to support our favorite artists.

If you're looking for recommendations, the Engadget team is unanimous in its agreement that everyone should listen to Ninajirachi's debut album, I Love My Computer. Even if you're not normally a fan of electronic dance music, I Love My Computer feels like a shot of serotonin straight to the arm, with its exuberant celebration of growing up alongside technology at the dawn of the 21st century. I've been listening to the album nonstop since Engadget podcast producer Ben Ellman recommend it to me on a recent episode, and it always manages to put me in a good mood.

US Train Travel Sees Resurgence Amid High Air and Gas Prices, But Faces Infrastructure Challenges

US train travel is experiencing a boom, with record passenger numbers driven by high air and gas prices. However, the network suffers from a lack of high-speed services and poor connections in many cities, a paradox given the US has more railroads than any other country. This is largely due to a historical prioritization of freight over passenger rail and underfunding of infrastructure.
