EMI records UK has announced a mega charity auction benefiting the Japanese Red Cross Society. It’s to take place in two phases; the first happening now until April 15, and the second taking place between April 11-21. EMI has also committed to match all funds raised up to a maximum of one million euros.
There’ll be some pretty stellar items available over the next few weeks so get your chequebook out. Some suggestions:
– A Good Charlotte meet and greet, a signed guitar, and free tickets to a live show
– A life-sized carboard cut-out of Robbie Williams
– Tons of Beatles stuff for Beatles nerds
– Daft Punk Ferrari (the 1987 Ferrari 412, used in the Daft Punk film Electroma)
– Katy Perry CUPCAKE TRAMPOLINE!
– A painting by Duran Duran
– 35 (!) autographed David Bowie albums
– Autographed, hand-written Huey Lewis and the News lyrics because it’s 1983 afterall
– other cool stuff like concert tickets and a Chris Martin jacket from a Coldplay world tour.
All of the items will be up on eBay. It’s for a good cause and is just totally too weird not to check out. Happy bidding!
