The Haiti Project

[Pancake]

 

A download only charity compilation launches today to raise money for the relief efforts following the earthquake in Haiti.

 

 

"Upon arriving back in the UK a few weeks ago at Heathrow (and being a little too wrapped up in seemingly important things like whether the plane would land in the snow or if my train would be running) I was immediately greeted and numbed by the horrific and shocking news reports that followed after the Haiti Earthquake. As the magnitude of the disaster continues to grow by the day, I was very keen (like most people) to do ’something’.

 

Thus The Haiti Project – a charity download album – was born. Within a few days of sending emails and calls to my nearest and dearest friends an album quite literally ‘came together’.

 

The album is spearheaded by the anthemic debut track from The Sonic Graffiti, a new band from LA put together by Ginger, Billy Morrison, Michael Butler & Scott Lipps. The track entitled Mystery Number was recorded at Matt Sorum’s studio in August 2009 & was produced by the legendary Mike Clink.

 

I’d like to personally say a big thankyou to Ginger, Billy, Michael, Scott & Mike for donating this exclusive track, and allowing The Haiti Project to (hopefully) raise even more money.

 

I would love for everyone to spread word around the internet world via their Twitterings, Facebookings, Myspacings, bloggings and other ‘ings’. Lets raise some money.

This looks much better than the commercial offering that Simon Cowell is apparently putting together. The cynic in me thinks that Cowell will be promoting his own p1sspoor stable of talentless celeb-whores, although I hope I am proved wrong.

 

Whereas this looks like the real deal. Real musicians, who really care, making real music.

 

I'm in.

 

My own twisted suggestion....... I think that we could raise £millions for Haiti if we boiled Simon Cowell in oil, live on pay-per-view TV.

I think a little bit of sick just came up.

Just swallow it and pretend it's sperm.
