All of the benefits and donations to the Haiti earthquake situation has sparked a ton of controversy in the U. S. There really is no right answer to weather now is the the time for America to aiding other nations while their own is such dire straits. It's a Head vs Heart thing and the only answer is that their are two answers. Well bands like Weezer, The Donna's and Ween (holy fuck do you remember them?) are getting behind a cause I HOPE doesn't raise nearly the same amount of questions as the haiti benefits are raising.
For a minimum donation of .99 cents each, you can get rare and unreleased songs featuring a whole bunch of bands and ALL proceeds go to TargetCancer. TargetCancer is a non profit group dedicated to finding cures for rare but equally as dangerous forms of cancer. The group was founded by Boston lawyer Paul Poth who's passion for music led to one of the worlds most diverse CD collections ranging from classical to death metal. When Paul was 38, he was diagnosed with hepatobiliary duct cancer. Yeah I never heard of it and neither did his doctors. Paul Poth was a determined man and even though he passed away two years later at the age of 40, his foundation will be his legacy as the fight rages on, and an army of generous artists have donated music to take cancer down. below is the website where you can get your rare songs for a donation and a track listing of what's available.
