Hey Gang,

Louisville was hit with some alarming news. Our beloved independent record store and pillar of our community, ear X-tacy, is on the brink of closing down due to a decline in business over the last three years. We as a band cannot express how important local businesses are to the very fiber of a community, and stores such as ear X-tacy are prime examples. It is out of our distinct appreciation and respect for John Timmons and the ear X-tacy staff that we offer a digital download of our live album, Celebración De La Ciudad Natal, for $4.99, with all proceeds going to ear X-tacy.

The EP can be purchased at the ear X-tacy digital home page.

Please support your local businesses…they need us and we need them!!!

As our fans know, Haiti was devastated by an earthquake on Tuesday, January 12th. We wanted to let you know that there are many ways that you can help both the short-term and long-term relief efforts. Below are several that My Morning Jacket supports, and you can too. For immediate support, these recovery organizations have been mobilized, and are raising funds to aid in their relief efforts: Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, Wyclef Jean’s Yele Foundation. In these situations, however, crucial long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts can be underfunded in comparison to immediate relief efforts. These organizations have staff in the country and are well-positioned to aid Haitians in their long-term recovery: Partners in Health, Fonkoze, and The Lambi Fund of Haiti.

Every year, Neil and Pegi Young host the non-profit Bridge School Concert, benefiting the unique learning complex which assists children with severe physical impairments and challenging communication needs. The first was held in 1986, and the event is known as a totally unique musical event. Over the years the line-up of participants reads like a history of rock & roll. Volume IV of Live Recordings From Bridge School Concerts includes My Morning Jacket’s “Gideon” and “Just One Thing” from the October 28th, 2007 Bridge School Concert, and is available exclusively on iTunes. The proceeds from the iTunes digital downloads will be donated to the Bridge School, where one of the thrusts of their learning program is the use of advanced augmentative and alternative communication systems and assistive technology. Over the history of the concerts since 1986, some of the most exciting and surprising performances of live music have become a hallmark of the shows, and most of them are now available for the world to hear and purchase.
