  • Earthquake in Haiti: How you can help, statement from Wyclef Jean

    Posted in The Volume by The Volume on January 13th, 2010 at 11:56 am

    Wyclef Jean in HaitiWyclef Jean has released a statement on yesterday’s huge earthquake in Haiti, with information on how to help:

    Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake—and several very strong aftershocks—struck only ten miles from Port-au-Prince. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now. President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands “ready to assist” the Haitian people. The U.S. military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.

    If you want to help, you can text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can visit yele.org and click on “donate.”

    Pavement to reunite, play SummerStage in 2010

    Posted in The Volume by The Volume on September 16th, 2009 at 12:46 pm

    Details are sketchy, but it appears that the recent rumors are true: Iconic indie-rock outfit Pavement will reunite next year and perform—at the very least—at Central Park SummerStage on September 21. Yes, we know that’s more than a year away, but we also know that some of you are such rabid fans of Stephen Malkmus & Co. that you’ll probably start camping out now. Check Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan for more info.

    Jay-Z gives press conference for MSG benefit: Front row footage

    Posted in The Volume by Sophie Harris on August 31st, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    “We welcome Jay-Z as an artist, a businessman and a philanthropist,” said Madison Square Garden media president Mike Bair at this morning’s press conference, held at MSG. The event was set up to support Jay-Z’s massive benefit show on 9/11, where 100% of proceeds go to New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Benefit Fund. There were eight different speakers onstage (and Beyoncé Knowles watched from the wings). But the flashing cameras were there for Jay-Z, taking on an almost stroboscopic effect as he stood to speak. The rapper’s first Blueprint album was released on September 11, 2001, and he talked about being in L.A. and watching that day’s events unfold on television (see video above.) The continuity in dates is what gave him the idea for this huge benefit, he said. “I saw footage of these heroic actions, people running into buildings and saving each other. And I saw the strength of New York and it made me proud. So as I was embarking on putting out The Blueprint 3, it was only right to revisit that day, and this is my chance to do something to help out.” Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) had looked nervous sitting up on the stage, and he admitted he was a little shaky before thanking all the event’s sponsors for helping him see his vision through. “We’re gonna have a great time,” he said. “And bring your ear plugs, ’cause it’s gonna get loud.” Click past the jump to watch the Q&A session with Jay-Z.

    We’re not quite sure what to make of this: All Points West says that today hasn’t been canceled, but that the doors are being temporarily held. Here’s what’s up on the website:

    Sunday, August 2, 2009

    Due to the inclement weather, festival doors are being temporarily held. Keep an eye on the website for more information - we’ll update as soon as we have new information.

    PLEASE NOTE: The festival today is NOT canceled.

    Tonight’s lineup features Coldplay, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Elbow. Did the Brits bring the rain?
