Waxploitation: Causes 2

Posted: May 9th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Articles About Music | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

Waxploitation records has just released the second installment of their ongoing benefit series for Darfur.  100% of all profits made on this stellar compilation will go to  Doctors Without  Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam America.  Each of these three organizations are doing incredible things to help those suffering from the crises taking place in Darfur.

Several of the best indie artists in the business have donated rare and exclusive songs for this great cause.  So I encourage you to go to iTunes or Amazon and download these tracks.  It is a great way to get some new music and love your neighbor at the same time.  You should also check out Causes 1, which is also loaded with great artists, such as Bright Eyes, The Shins, Spoon and Death Cab. And if you go to the Causes store, you can buy both albums for just $17.
