m-cause

And why not?  I wanted to throw up a bit more about bum rush the charts today, so I was just in a moment of music hallucination and I decided to briefly pop by iTunes.  After a few moments of searching, an excellent cause related initiative popped into my view finder.  The album is aptly called causes1 and 100% of the proceeds go to Darfur.  Specifically, proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam America–  Causes 1 is a compilation album with some Indie greats like Death Cab for Cutie.  The album has received solid reviews from Pitchfork and other music review sites.  I don’t know much about Waxploitation, the label that released the album.  I stopped by the website and it seems they have a committment to putting out cause related music as there was a sign-up screen for future cause related album news. It appears that this compilation is a limited edition (only available for 3 months) so lets all pick up a copy of this one quickly.  Dafur is a real tragedy.  The global community has pretty much bungled its response to the region.  No one really knows how many people have been killed there since the conflict started in 2003…mass graves, violence, hate, sadness.  A very unhappy tale…
