Amie Street Teams Up With Food Bank For NYC for Thanksgiving Food Drive

Amie Street Teams Up with Food Bank For NYC for Thanksgiving Food DriveAs this is such a good cause, I'm a bit irritated with myself for taking so long to get this posted.

Through Tuesday, Aime Street is donating 50% of all proceeds from the Cheap Lullaby catalog — which includes the new release from Gramercy Arms (featuring members of Guided By Voices, Luna, Joan As Police Woman, and The Dambuilders) to the Food Bank For NYC.

I was reading that the unemployment rate is now at its highest in 16 years so there are a lot of people out there struggling. The reality is that the economic situation is unlikely to get better until after the holidays so...folks need help now! The campaign that Aime Street is running will make a difference in people's lives.

In addition to the new Gramercy Arms CD, the Cheap Lullaby catalog includes bands like Joan As Police Woman, Ane Brun and Sylvia Lewis. The Cheap Lullaby catalogue is all recorded at 320 kbps and you aren't going to find a legal download elsewhere for $5 - $6 for a full-length disc.
