Yellow Bird Project

Thanks to Dan Mangan's tweet the other day I came across the Yellow Bird Project. The project was started by a couple university grads that, like Bryce and myself wanted to spread the word about indie music but also wanted to give something back. The Yellow Bird Project is a non-profit organization out of Montreal that commissions indie artist such as Bon Iver, Hayden, The National and Broken Social Scene to design t-shirts (American Apparel to!) that will be sold via Yellow Bird Project with proceeding going to various charities. I bought a couple t-shirts and a hoodie yesterday and I already want to buy some more. Head on over to Yellow Bird Project to get the full story and buy some shirts!

Broken Social Scene Live In Concert, well on YouTube at least

The Canadian musical masterminds Broken Social Scene are currently touring North America is support of their 2010 album Forgiveness Rock Record, which made our Top 50 Album of 2010 list but I won't tell you where. Anyway Broken Social Scene is playing a show in New York at Terminal 5, but if your like me and don't live in New York the show will be streamed live via YouTube. The show will be on Jan 18 at 9:00 pm ET, or 7:00 pm MT. They are amazing live performers and I guarantee it will be worth your time. So instead of me telling you the details again, I'll let Brandon Canning from Broken Social Scene tell you below.



Also check out the somewhat disturbing video for the single "Texico Bitches".
