Show Some Love

  1. Pick a musician whose music you downloaded, borrowed or otherwise acquired without paying. Make sure it’s an artist who you really like.
  2. Write them a letter telling them why you love their music, and include five bucks in cash. Why five bucks? If you’re feeling crafty, make them a collage or otherwise decorate your letter.
  3. Scan or photograph your letter and submit it to this site. We’ll share it with the world.
  4. Find your artist’s mailing address. Visit this page for help finding addresses, and send off the letter and the five bucks.
  5. Enjoy your new-found musical karma, and keep on rockin’.
