Help Polyvinyl save records, get a bunch in return. It's win-win, really.

Discovered via Idolator : Indie label Polyvinyl Records - current home to Joan of Arc, of Montreal, and near-and-dear Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin - are downsizing - actually, their distributor is, and in order to avoid having 10,000 records destroyed in the process (and / or having them sit around in their office, creating another problem of its own), they're asking you to donate, and in return, they'll send you a bunch of stuff.

What you get varies by how much you pledge :

So if you donate $50, it works out to like, less than $2 a record. Seriously.

So far, they seem to be doing fairly well - their goal was $1000 by 14th July, and they're already up to $6204 (up about $2000 from when I check this morning).

To donate and score some awesome records, or for more information, you can go here. And let your friends know!
