More Support For Haiti: Alexisonfire

Hey Everyone!

Yet another band is lending support to the relief fund in Haiti! And this time, they're locals. St.Catherine's natives, Alexisonfire, are currently running a promotion on their online store. They announced recently that all proceeds from their January sales will be donated to the cause. Thats pretty cool if you think about it... that could generate quite a bit of money since it spans over a month. Guitarist Wade posted this message to the band's website:

"In light of the recent tragedy in Haiti we have been thinking about how to help. In a disaster of this magnitude, the easiest way for everyone to get involved is simply by donating money. This will get clean water, sanitation and medical supplies, food and temporary shelter to those who need it most in Jacrmel and Port-Au-Prince. We will be donating all the same proceeds from our online store for the month of January to the relief effort. So, if you've been thinking about getting a shirt recently, now is the time to do it!

Thanks Friends,

Wade"

So if you happen to be an AOF fan and looking to lend your support to a great, very worthwhile cause, this could be for you. Check it out!

Limited Pressing Auction Off Vinyl Test Pressings For Haiti Relief

Hey Everyone!

In light of the devastating earthquake that shook Haiti last week, many bands, artists and organizations are taking to their fan bases to raise some much needed money for to send aid to the country. One of many doing so is limited pressing, a site which offers auctions for limited edition vinyls. Among their typical postings, there is now a section (marked in pink) of impressive first pressing vinyls for which most or all proceeds (depending on the album) will go to organizations like Doctors Without Borders and other efforts in the disaster stricken republic. There are some fantastic albums up for grabs on this site, with some serious potential for any collectors out there. I will definitely be keeping my eyes on this site, watching some of the albums I would love to add to my personal catalog. Have to say, I'm mildly amused by the way one Mr.Pete Wentz has hiked up the selling costs of Fall Out Boys albums rather successfully. At first he indicated on his Twitter that he wished only to own them himself, but he later stated that if he indeed won the auctions, he would have the band sign them and re-auction them. He also claims that if someone manages to outbid him by a cent, the album(s) will be signed before shipment if you'd like. So theres some incentive. Just think, you could have an FOB autograph collection on a limited first test pressing vinyl... honestly, like them or not it would be worth a small fortune in the future. So check out the auctions here and see if something catches your eye. Yet another cool way to do something good for humanity. Help out Haiti, there are lives at stake here. We hold the power to help these people, lets do it!

How have you shown support for Haiti? Let me know!
