This post isn’t specifically Pasadena-related, but Pasadena has a lot of citizens who care about what is going on in Darfur, and a lot of bloggers, and I’m guessing a lot of people who like John Lennon’s music. If that describes you, this post is for you.

My friend Marilyn and I started Bloggers for Darfur over a year ago as a resource for bloggers who want to call for an end to the horrible violence in Darfur. We got an email from Amnesty International this week announcing that they’d released an album of John Lennon’s music performed a bunch of different musicians called Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. They also made neat music player widget that people can add to their blog sidebars to play samples of the songs — and to call attention to the situation in Darfur. (It works for most blogs, except wordpress and livejournal — otherwise I’d show you a sample.) Check the widget out, though, and check out the album website.
