Hello, I am Binki Shapiro of the band Little Joy.
I’m here to tell you about an auction I will be holding consisting of all the items you see on this page…
I’ve rallied a bunch of artists together who have all contributed a piece specifically for this auction.
I have decided that I will give all the proceeds to Artists for Peace and Justice, an amazing organization founded by a dear friend of mine, Paul Haggis.
APJ sends 100% of all funds raised directly to relief efforts on the ground and to long term sustainability in Haiti.
To learn more about them, visit www.artistsforpeaceandjustice.com

Please continue to check in, as I will be updating this page daily with more exciting things from more exciting artists!

You can also follow me on Twitter for updates! http://twitter.com/binki_shapiro

Stay tuned for more items from Daft Punk, Sia, Le Tigre, Mark Ronson, M. Ward and The Black Keys.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS PAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!

SIA decorates a shirt and wallet for the Crafts For A Cause auction… Details to come!!

I’m a fan of Regina Spektor, and she’s all over this on her Facebook page. Head on over and help out, won’t you? :)

Nah, that honor still belongs to Muse, but, as of last week, as my followers on FriendFeed and Last.fm will tell you, these guys are running a close second. Of course you can dance to their music, but they are also great songwriters, and, despite the taped background, they also bring it live. There’s a reason why Will.I.Am has sung their praises. Git it!

Uh…just a little random thing I found on a blog describing what English sounds like to people in other countries. This video is so all kinds of awesomesauce! Dig it!

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”

The killings have produced urban legends about the song and left Filipinos groping for answers. Are the killings the natural byproduct of the country’s culture of violence, drinking and machismo? Or is there something inherently sinister in the song?

The world is chock full of ear hurt that some people willingly refer to as music. The Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Conway Twitty; they all produce high quality records and 8-tracks for our enjoyment whether we like it or not.

But music—even terrible music—has a stunning amount of power over our bodies.
