Video: Miami All-Star Band, City of Progress, Rocks For Haiti

Look, we’ve never liked having to say this, but basically the Red Cross fucking sucks. They do a lot of shit, but certainly not as much as people believe, definitely not as much as they portray, and beyond a shadow of a doubt with the heavy burden of “administrative costs” lessening their ability to effect positive change with every cent dropped.

Invest your donation money wisely. Is Project Medishare any better? I medi-sure fucking hope so, because I just donated 10 bucks (you can pay as much or little as you want) to download the new track by a Miami all-star band dubbed City Of Progress. All download proceeds (barring “itunes processing fees”) go to that organization.
