There are times that I
get embarrassed at the geek culture on the internet. This is usually
following someone or some group making the news because they decided
to “improve the image” of their particular fandom, only for it to
blow up in their face and make them look like total buffoons. Then,
instead of leaving the spotlight, they bask in it and complain how
they were misrepresented.
More often then not
however, geeks are willing to do damn near anything to help those in
need. Some will donate time and money while others will start
charities. Then there are musicians who will work together for a
compilation album where the proceeds go to fight diseases. Today on
Lost in the Music, I will be focusing on the album One More. This
album is a compilation album of different artists from all sorts of
genre's in support of the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and
Vasculitis Foundation of Canada.
One More is a
compilation album much like an OCReMix album. Each artist brings
something unique to the album and it combines both mainstream music
with indie chiptunes and game covers. You have music from lyrical
funnyman Brentalfloss on one track while one other track is from
Toronto rock group You Handsome Devil performing one of their own
hits. There is enough variety on this album that you will find
something to like.
One More is a
triumphant example of what happens when groups and artists of all
different genre's of music come together for a common cause. Disease
knows no bounds and for a performer, Pulmonary Fibrosis is a career
killer.
There
are many great songs on this album and I suggest you buy it. Not only
will every sale go towards the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
and the Vasculitis Foundation of Canada, but you will also experience
new performers. This is a great way to be exposed to bands you haven't heard of.
All proceeds from One
More goes towards Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and
Vasculitis Foundation of Canada. You can purchase the album over at
bandcamp.
This is Daimo mac and I
am lost in the music.
