<<message from Phil Newall>> No doubt you like myself will have already given to the relief fund in Haiti - However more needs to be done, hence things like the Simon Cowell charity record. No doubt it will raise millions, but I beleive it is also a cynical marketing opportunity to maintain the profile of many of his 'manufactured' stars - Similar to Live Aid which maintained the careers of a few too many. Cowell has easily enough money to just put his hand in his pocket and donate - Just like George Clooney did; £1M no fuss! Cowell however wants to keep Susan Boyle etc in the public eye,,, and paint it up like an entirely good deed. As such I do not want to be a part of it. Now there is an alternative - The Haiti Project - This download album has been put together by a selection of credible musicians, including Eureka Machines, Electric Six, Antiproduct, etc - Its about raising money not profiles, they dont even have their pics on the website. All proceeds are going to the relief effort - Its £5 - Please buy it now... fan.musicglue.com/sale/promoproducts.aspx?productid=d424fa03-a7aa-4e34-9ffc-9c852495283f Regards Phil
