Good to hear you and Momo are back in Riverside! I miss that cat of yours... I just may have to stop by and bring her some catnip sometime. I miss watching her do her crazy thing!
After eleven years of Death Cab For Cutie making music and changing perspectives, the boys from Bellingham are encouraging kids to do the same. DCFC has teamed up with The GRAMMY Foundation and Do Something to create Key Change Grants, a new scholarship program that encourages kids to create music for the purpose of promoting social change.
Applicants will be judged by a panel of industry professionals, and will receive money to work on grassroots social change through music projects in their communities. Twenty runners up will receive a $500 grant to work on their projects, and five finalists will receive $3,000 and win a trip to L.A. for the 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards February 8 at the Staples Center. The contest is open to all US and Canadian citizens 19 and under. For more details and to fill out an application, visit the website below. The deadline for entry is December 15.
Those looking for start-up inspiration can turn to the reissue of Death Cab's debut album, 1998's Something About Airplanes, out next Tuesday on Barsuk.
