I actually bought a CD

In my google reader I came across an interesting article from Gizmodo.com about an organization called "Playing For Change". All the songs are recorded by completely unknown artists in a street virtual studio all around the world. Tracks are played and then layered it on top of each other to make a world wide compilation of incredible music. Here is a great example of one of the songs featured on the DVD:
The creators believe that through music and art the world could be a little more at peace. Even more the use of international artists who have never met each other give a stark realization that music can bring people together from all over the world. Sales from these CD's will help create and develop music and art schools around the world.
Everyone who knows me realizes that I may obtain my music from less than legal circumstances. These decisions are not because I am trying to rip off the music industry or because I lack the financial means to purchase them. No, I believe the music industry has outright driven themselves into the ground with their corrupt and shady practices. They have been unable to keep up with the changing times and have turned to suing 12 year old girls! The fact of the matter is the music industry is failing to serve those who support them. A recent study shows that pirates (if you're thinking eye patches you're wayyy off) actually buy 10 times more legal music than others. Anyway this post isn't about the music industry it is about the CD I actually bought because I believe in the message and I'm not worried my money is going to fund someones new grill (again if you're thinking burgers and hot dogs think again). I hope you enjoy these songs and consider buying the CD. Its not only good music but it's for a good cause.
