Tweet. Meet. Give. Twestival.


Today is going to be a good day!

People in over 175 cities worldwide are getting together for a charity 'Twestival' (in honour of the fact we're all Twitter users) for Charity:Water - aiming to get fresh, clean water to the roughly 1 billion people in the world who have no access to it. The ultimate aim is to raise more that $20,000 for the charity (a previous effort raised in excess of $15,000) - but they don't want you to give away your money for nothing!

Hundreds of artists, Riddler included, have donated tracks to the cause. We've give away an 'EP Preview' of Lipstick Blonde - to clear up what the hell that is, it's the version we're using as the 'model' to record all the individual parts for the final song - so it's way down the line from any of the versions on MySpace, or even here on our own site.

But it's even better than that! (How is that possible, we hear you cry). You can also download tracks donated by bands and artists including Bloc Party, Imogen Heap, Erol Alkan, The Young Punx and many, many more. All that is requested in return is, if you like the music, please donate $5 to the cause. It's easily done, and every penny goes to the charity. Please, please, check out the Twestival website and Twestival.FM (for your music!)

And now, we have our spankiest clothes on, tickets in hand, and we're off to Shoreditch for @LDNTwestival. Gonna be a riot, And if you're in the area, and you see lots of people staring into iPhones, talking about Tweeting, d, @ing and the such. Please forgive us. It is for Charidee, innit.
