I read this on Neko Case's myspace blog last week, but totally forgot about it. Ms. Case is apparently uber-friendly to her furry friends and wants us internet-types to repost the single from her new album, Middle Cyclone, due out on Anti- March 3rd, in a fundraising effort for Best Friends Animal Society. The animal shelter is:

"one of America’s foremost animal rescue organizations. Founded in 1984, Best Friends advances nationwide animal welfare initiatives by working with shelter and rescue groups around the country. On any given day Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the nation's largest facility for abused, abandoned and special needs companion animals located in southwestern Utah, is home to approximately 2,000 dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, and other animals. The society also publishes Best Friends magazine, the nation’s largest general interest, pet-related magazine with approximately 300,000 subscribers."

Basically, Neko and Anti- will donate 5 bones (that's dollars, not chew toys) for every repost of her single between January 13th and February 3rd. A thoughtfully inventive way to help out all those creatures who make our days a little brighter. Plus excellent free music. Dude, if you got a blog, post that shit. Blog about me, while you're at it.
