The Mailbox, Show #22: Songs for Haiti

A little show with a big goal.

I think most of us are familiar with the situation in Haiti; the massive earthquake that rocked the island last month has left death and devastation in its wake, something that's going to take years to fully turn around.  Knowing that most of you are from the Kansas City are, and knowing the generosity that runs through my hometown, a good many of you have probably already given to a worthy charity. Paste Magazine has set up a website for those who would like to give, would like to give again, or have already given what they can: www.pastemagazine.com/songsforhaiti.
 
Once you access this website, you will eventually have access to hundreds of .mp3s from dozens of artists, and many of these tracks are B-sides or demos or live recordings so it's not like you'll be given a chance to download music you already have.
 
It's nice to be able to give, and when someone wants to give back that's nice too.  Thanks.
