I was just looking up a band that I used to love and was totally blown away.

They are making 12 songs in 12 months and releasing 1 a month for digital download.

the download is cost a minimum donation of $1 and the money is going to specific charities that are on their hearts.

So this first track has so far raised over $6,600 towards building a house for a family in need.

here is an extract from their website

“There is strength in numbers. There is power in community. However, community is only as strong as the individuals that create it. That is why we believe this project will work; because you are here reading this right now. The power to make a difference is here in your hands. From the beginning, Mae has been about making music and using our voice to help serve as a bridge to connect people and build community. For the entirety of 2009, our desire is to be the change we want to see in the world.”

COME ON!!!!!!!
