Such a great concept… Amazon.com gives everyone $2 free, and benevolentbeats.org lets you give that to charity by buying music for yourself! But, I will let them explain—from the website:

Amazon.com is running a promotion through next Monday, February 14th: enter a code, get a $2 credit to spend in their MP3 store. They’re basically giving away free money, albeit in a form that can only be used to buy a product from them. This presents an interesting opportunity, though: if an artist on the receiving end of this promotional moola chose to contribute his or her income from Amazon sales to a worthy cause, we’d have essentially created a mechanism for transforming this near-limitless supply of free “Amazon bucks” into real money for charity. This is exactly what we’re proposing.

We’ve created a small but growing coalition of independent musicians that have pledged to donate their income from Amazon.com promotional MP3 store sales to charity. If you’ll use the $2 that Amazon is giving you to buy a track or two from from any of these artists, 100% of that artist’s income from your purchase will be donated to Project Open Hand, a great organization that feeds thousands of people in the Bay Area.

So what are you waiting for? Free music, AND the proceeds go to charity!? Go to BenevolentBeats.org and get involved today!!

Grillade – “Dream of You (Emotionally Yours)” from French Press Films on Vimeo.

If you are a fan of LEGENDmag, you know that it’s music that makes us tick.

Well… a wonderful new book (and iPad app) just came out, showcasing 50 diverse musicians talking about just that. Deceptively simple and straight to the point—it seems to push aside all frivolity and get right to the point.

Amazing and beautifully executed.
I am downloading my copy as I type this.
