Arcade Fire 4 Superbowl; John Mayer Helps Too

Well, it's not exactly like that - Arcade Fire has licensed a song to be aired during the game, proceeds going to Haiti relief. Then John Mayer has some news as well.

And it's the perfect song to air, too, we think.

Arcade Fire, Partners in Health, the NFL, Merge Records and Bank Robber Music have collectively agreed upon a unique 100% for charity Superbowl licensing of "Wake Up" from the band's 2004 album Funeral. All proceeds from the song's airing on the live Superbowl broadcast and subsequent airings on the NFL Network will go directly to Partners In Health's Stand With Haiti relief efforts.

Meanwhile, professional mook and masturbation advocate John Mayer has also gotten into the act and is letting his 2006 hit "The Heart of Life" to be used by the Red Cross in ads. The guitarist also donated $500,000 to the Red Cross for Haiti relief funds, so don't take our sarcasm too literally: help is help, and money is money, no matter what the source, and that's a good thing.
