Subways auction goodies for charity

The Subways are auctioning their drum kit online for charity.

Working with Action Aid, the band (joining forces with pop acts The Tings Tings and Duffy) are selling their kit to raise money and awareness for the Bollocks To Poverty campaign.

All the funds raised by the ‘Bollocks to Poverty’ auction will go directly to ActionAid’s work in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Anella Wickenden, ActionAid youth manager, says:

“We’ve had an amazing response from some of Britain’s hottest bands and artists. Now it’s a chance for fans to snap up memorabilia, knowing that the money they bid will help change the lives of some of the world’s poorest people.”

Just a small amount can make a huge difference, so the more money raised by the auction, the better.

£10 can provide five families in Liberia with enough seeds and tools to rebuild their livelihoods.
£60 can provide a child in Malawi with life saving antiretroviral treatments for HIV for two months.
£133 can enable 20 teenagers set up a community radio station in their favela (slum) in Brazil.
£400 can provide enough medicines and materials for one community health centre in Cambodia.
£1,000 can provide education for five ex-child soldiers in Sierra Leone.

Check out the auction online now, HERE.

I'd rather be dead than alive by your oppression,
I'd rather be dead than alive by your design,
poisoned my fingers,burn my eyes,
cut my throat to be alive,
I'd rather be dead than alive by your social values,
I'd rather be dead than alive by your tradition.........

But i'd rather be alive.


p.s. check out The Get Up Kids and Sunny Day Real Estate and find out what the fuck emo is you sad bastard.

Emo is a genre of music derived from hardcore punk and "indie", mixing the ethics and sense of purpose from punk and hardcore stylings but leaning towards melodic driven indie of the time ie leaning on emotions thus becoming emo or emotional hardcore but not My Chemical Romance who are scene.

Kerrang do something about the user with the absolutely disgraceful name. It may seem trivial but the half arse moron obviously thinks his perverse attempt at human is somehow acceptable.

Whether you hate genre's that people choose to label themselves with is neither here or there when you can have such disregard for the loss of a human life and the grief then suffered by the friends and family of the deceased.

Your a sick fuck.

What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't you have any respect? You sick bastard.

You must be amazingly messed up in the head if you think that is remotely funny, you attention-seeking prick! Actually, I feel sorry for you, you obviously have such a shit life and so desperate of some sort of interaction you have to resort to something as offensive, immature and disrespectful as this.

Loads of bands do it Ghost of a 1000, Anti-Flag and Gallows are 3 that do an awful lot of charity work, even Paramore gave money they earnt from a hoodie on their last tour to love146.

You dickhead.

So you're saying, because she committed suicide, she has to 'earn' our respect? So saying things like: "hannah bond couldnt handle one listen to the black parade without lynching herself" is acceptable?!?!
Thats the biggest load of bull I've ever heard.
Get your head out your arse, you fucktard.

how is it bullshit when it is obvious she killed herself because she was a silly emo bitch who couldnt handle fuck all not even an MCR album and im not gonna, nor should anyone else respect her for that in life or death and im not trying to gain your respect im just telling it as it is and how silly emo bitches like her get more attention than somone who works through problems rather than lynching themselves at the 1st oppurtunity they get for the first reason they can come up with.

Why do people send money to der Afrikans? It is a vaste of money! Ve must cut off all der aid, so as to curb der overpopulation, let der Afrikans look after themselves. Ve in der Vest haf been doing it for far too long. Dey are aid-dependent. Time to make them go, how do you Englander schewinhunds say, Cold Turkey, ja?

If Nature felt der ver enough Afrikans, then there vould not be der famines, der tribal massacres, der primitive vitchcraft und der rampant diseases.

No more aid for Afrika.
(Unless its mein Afrika Korps und Rommel - I haf forgiven him for his role in der July 20 plot)

Eh, do you actually read anything properly, they didn't give hoodie, they gave proceedings collected from selling hoodies ie $600,000, you know that's quite a lot of money.

Posted by Wez | September 25, 2008 7:51 AM | Reply to this

there is always a deeper meaning to way someone commits suicide, she could be having school/family problems, but obviously the media wouldnt mention this and go straight for the whole 'she was an emo, thats why she killed herself' The only thing you know about her is what you read in the media, and thats hardly fucking reliable, they give a warped view when it comes to things like "cults" and "emos"...once again get your head out your arse, you small minded dickhead.

just a therory is this not gonna backfire as if five people dont buy this weeks issue of kerrang (which they shouldnt because BMTH suck donkey balls) they can give that money to charity and soon no one will buy kerrang and donate to charity anyway

oh and subways rock

she killed herself cause she was being bullied for being emo boo-fuckin- who if your sad enough to let that get to you, you deserve to be dead

Posted by apocalypse please | September 25, 2008 4:28 PM | Reply to this

im not letting that get to me, im just merely saying that she does deserve some sort of respect, and certain comments you are making about her are totally offensive and unacceptable.
i deserve to be dead?! if small minded, rude fuckers like you all died, the world would be a better place!
by the way, whats up with the EMO name?

my name is that of a muse song and i get bullied myself i dont let that get to me i voice my opinion about somthing and in this case you dont agree with that opinion but when somone gives there life away for such trivial and pathetic circumstances and everyone gives her sympathy for that

I feel for her parents and family and friends but she deserves no kind of respect, she gave away her life so many people live with diseases and live and care for others with mental and pysical disabilities and carry one and keep on living (mcr lyrics there for you) would kill to have a life like hers with so much oppurtunity and possibilty that she had so why cant she, a teenage girl who has her whole life ahead of her use what advantages she had.

And also i dont believe in respect for the dead on that therory you would have to say "saddam hussain/ Adolf Hitler yeh they were cunts but they are dead so you cant say a word againest them."

just listen to yourself, youre comparing a 14 year old girl to Hitler....thats quite possibly the stupidest & lamest thing you've ever said. ¬_¬

no saying i value your opinion would be the stupidest and lamest thing ive ever said

Posted by apocalypse please | September 26, 2008 12:54 AM | Reply to this

I know where you are coming from with the giving up and throwing it all away aspect and I agree but I do feel that we as a human race need to actually take a look at the situation becuse so many youngsters are committing suicide and are causing damage through self-abuse these days rather than ridiculing them.

Posted by Wez | September 26, 2008 9:02 AM | Reply to this

Also to say you don't respect the dead because that would mean you had to respect Hitler is stupid, because it means within reason.

Exactly she was being bullied by ill-educated fucking morons.

Hannah was a friend of mine and im doing a piece on her and how the daily mail are shit. I just flicked through some websites and found this shit about her and us, our friends. Im 16 and i know how shit life can be. so dont judge me or tell me im ignorant and narrow minded. dont tell me that my friend was stupid and doesnt deserve respect!!! you have no idea what she was like! she was amazing and i loved her to bits! she leaved a mere 5 minutes from me and i tell you it still doesnt hurt to walk past her house to get to school. Jess, her sister who i am also friends with invited me to her birthday party a few weeks ago but i refused as i still cannot stand to be near the house knowing that she died there. so please fuck off and leave my mate to rest. It was a year on the 22nd and it is still just as hard now as it was when i first found out. so please im begging now. let this go. before you
hurt more of our friends!
