Earlier this week, the new album by the Oakland band the Matches, A Band In Hope, leaked–more than a month before its release date. So frontman Shawn Harris has written a blog post detailing just how, exactly, people who download the album can make penance to his bandmates: “How may you make payment to the musicians who created it? Glad you wondered. When you download or rip the album, do something nice for a stranger. Give a dollar to one.org. Jumpstart a car. Give a rose to an old woman eating alone. Leave an open ended love letter in someone’s shoe at the gym. But actually, those examples are not as great as the ones you will come up with! Take a video of it on your camera or cameraphone or if you don’t have that, take a photo, or draw a picture, and send it to us.” While I have no problem with the idea of bringing positivity to the world, the impish and Catholically indoctrinated sides of me are hoping that they get a cameraphone video of someone saying ten Hail Marys and ten Our Fathers within the week.

I don’t know what bath houses these fellows frequent, but I know for a fact that leaving an open ended love letter in some meat head’s shoe at the WOW would not be appreciated.
@Dead Air ummm Dead Air: Hypothetically speaking, an open-ended love note to said meathead could help them come to terms with their latent homosexuality. Surely that is a good thing, right?
Of course if this takes off we all know what this means. Matches will die in a playground knifing. And then someone will call all angels.
Great. If my lunch is ruined by a parade of large-hearted strangers with roses, I’m punching each member of this band in the balls.
@soundbitesnyc: I lol’ed.
Who are these people anyway? Never heard of them. Give a dollar to one.org? Whatever for? To make Angelia Jolie rich?
