This blog post is a call to action for relief supplies to be gathered and sent to Haiti. Please Listen to the podcast, download the Donation Letter documents, and help us reach our goal of $20k worth of medical supplies in the next 24 hrs.

We've attached a letter that you can bring to the local pharmacies in your area requesting donations of needed supplies. Typically what will happen is they will take the attached letter and give you a gift card that you can go and spend in the store. At the bottom of this letter is the items that we would request you pick up.

Our goal is to get at least $20,000 worth of medical supplies by Wednesday, January 20th. Once you’ve picked up all the supplies you can drop them at the locations listed below.

Oslo’s RAM Galleri Exhibits ccMixter's White Cube Remix Project--Listen here:

Organized by ccMixter artist's Gurdonark and SackJo22, The White Cube Remix project helps redefine the gallery experience by introducing sound and music into the traditionally quiet gallery space. SackJo22 composed, recorded and uploaded spoken word source material, and Gurdonark followed suit with choice ambient samples that reflected the central themes of this exhibition -- light and winter in the north. In less than one month, more than 94 original compositions, from ambient music to chill beats, were created for the exhibit.

SackJo22 and Gurdonark then compiled a playlist of these 94 original compositions onto an mp3 player that will be installed in the RAM Galleri, thus providing more than six hours of original music as a soundtrack for the White Cube exhibition. The White Cube Remix installation will also include an interactive component with a computer in the gallery where visitors can further explore the music, artists, and intent of The White Cube Remix Project by visiting http://thewhitecube2009.blogspot.com , the blog set up to support this project, as well as  ccmixter.org, where visitors can explore the remix history and musical source for the contributed compositions.

Happy Holidays from Songserver!

I think Jamendo has a great widget for previewing Peace of Winter, Snowflake's new holiday release featuring ccMixter artists, but most listeners like the fact that it's available for download in iTunes too! Coming soon the Tunetrack digital-LP complete with CD-quality downloads and artbook.



Leave a note or a review saying what your favorite songs are! You can also leave a tip, knowing that half the proceeds go to the Dalai Lama Foundation.

Peace!
