As you probably know, the life of a musician playing independent music is not a lucrative one. So when one hits a snag in life that taps the resources and makes working an outside job impossible, times get really hard. This is where Dan and Letha Melchior find themselves right now. You know Dan as one of the best underground rock & roll songwriters around. He's released records on labels such as In the Red, Hangman, S.S., Siltbreeze, Daggerman and others, and played with his bands the Broke Review and Das Menace, as well as Billy Childish and Holly Golightly. Letha is a member of Das Menace and contributes to a lot of Dan's record jacket art/design, not to mention Dan's partner.

A few months ago Letha was diagnosed with cancer and since then she's been in a pretty hard fight, requiring some operations and much treatment. She's been unable to work. Dan's role as her caretaker has taken him out of the work force. Letha has basic medical insurance but that really doesn't mean a whole lot in the USA. Debt is piling up. And the state that they live in, North Carolina, doesn't offer much in the way of aid. Dan and Letha need our help.

Independent of Dan and Letha, we are asking people to help them out. The Melchior name has given us a whole lot of great music; now it is time to give a little back. We know times are hard for a lot of people, so we are asking that you give what you can afford. Please know that the money donated to Dan and Letha goes directly to them via their paypal account.

me parece una mierda de aportación
pero ahora mismo no puedo dar más.

copia esta lista, incluyéndote, cuando hayas hecho tu donación. es sólo
un clic.

• zackchill
• billie teardrop

[no sé si asumir que lowtrux y Abel -¡gracias por ponernos al corriente!-
ya han hecho su aportación. aunque deduzco que sí, que sean ellos los
que lo confirmen añadiéndose a la lista]

Lista actualizada:

• zackchill
• billie teardrop
• Abel

pd: Noto una cierta propensión enfermiza a hacer listas de usuarios…

Sí, yo aquí no le encuentro mucho sentido. Si sirve para que la gente colabore más, pues fantástico, pero las donaciones a mí me gustan anónimas.

Totalmente de acuerdo, la idea es colaborar no saber quien colabora. Edito.

a mí las donaciones me gustan jaspeadas.

organizar un benefit show para recaudar fondos en madrid y otro en barcelona?
cosas de perfil bajo que ayudaran a hacer un poco de bolsa. en el moog o en el heliogabal seguro que se podría montar alguna cosa

Si hace falta cualquier tipo de ayuda logística yo voy hasta madrid a hechar una mano, y dependiendo de la fecha inclusive convencer a alguna de las bandas amigas a tocar gratis.

Igual una fiesta, pinchada, etc, si lo de montar un bolo es mucho problema.

hacemos una lista/asamblea? jajaja

cuanto daño ha hecho el sindrome del escenario forero jajaja.

Podríamos hacer una lista de quienes alguna vez hayan alertado de un cambio de más, e incluso de aquellos que hayan dado limosna a un pobre. También de la gente que recicla. Para su confección, imperiosamente lowtrux tendría que hecharnos una mano

Esto ya me está empezando a aburrir.
