A special pre-holiday surprise from Morningbell!
Hey friends,
Check out the music page of our website for an improved mix of I bought a black hole. It features Jake McMullen on real drums and sounds just so shiny.
Why the new track? Morningbell has been asked to contribute an unreleased song to the H.O.M.E.van 2008 collection. You can listen to the new mix on our website, but the only place you'll be able to own it is on the compilation, which is supposed to be out sometime next year. If it never gets released for some reason, we'll make it downloadable.
Here's some info about the organization:
HOMEvan, founded in 2002 by Arupa and Bob Freeman and other community activists, is a grassroots, volunteer-run outreach group providing a variety of services for the homeless, poor, and disenfranchised of Gainesville. Twice each week, rain or shine, HOMEvan's volunteers bring a nutritious bagged meal, soup, clothes, hygiene products, and (what many need most of all) an unjudging and compassionate ear. When financially possible, HOMEvan helps those who may have been denied services elsewhere by assisting them with rent deposits or putting them on a Greyhound bus back to where they do have friends and families. HOMEvan also networks with volunteer physicians, nurses and lawyers who provide pro bono medical and legal advice for those who otherwise may not be able to afford it. HOMEVan is a project of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Gainesville.
HOMEvan subsists largely upon donations from friends and neighbors of the HOMEvan community.
The Gainesville music community came together in 2003 to produce the first HOMEvan Benefit Compilation, a survey of the Gainesville music scene at the time. The collection of 42 of Gainesville's best local bands featured a broad array of genres and gave a thorough cross-section of a time and place in Gainesville's music history. The compilation and subsequent concert not only raised funds for HOMEvan, but more importantly, raised substantial awareness for the grassroots organization and the causes they fight for.
As the Gainesville music scene is experiencing a renaissance of new and creative bands, and as the problems of the homeless in Gainesville continue to grow, now seems a perfect time to take action again and rally Gainesville's best and brightest bands for the...
