Wanna hang out with the band Linkin Park? Well I have a way for you to kill two birds with one stone (please note: no birds were harmed in the writing of this post).

Linkin Park is teaming up with Social Vibe and Music for Relief to offer YOU a chance to meet the band. About the partnership, David “Phoenix” Farrell said:

“We’re helping to ensure that they’re better prepared to deal with future hurricanes and floods. In addition to collecting funds, we’re using a site called SocialVibe for the first time to earn money for the food and clean drinking water that the people of Haiti so desperately need.”

Here’s how it works: simply add socialvibe.com/musicforrelief to your webpage (myspace, facebook, etc.) and you will help contribute by earning donations for the charity. Whoever adds the most friends by April 24th wins a trip to hang out with the band in the studio. Pretty easy, right?

The goal is to raise $25,000 for clean water, food and reforestation in effected areas, and we’re sure they can do it.

An old school aficionado myself, I was pretty stoked to see Steven Tyler, KISS, Dee Snider (of Twisted Sister), and several other rockers who are older than my father yet still kicking ass taking on this cause! If you haven’t caught it yet, you can see their PSA, “Rock Autism,” here.

Tomorrow Rock Autism is having a Celebrity Bowl-Off at Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood, from 7 to 10 PM, with benefits going to three different autism charities–Act Today, the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, and the HollyRod Foundation. It will be hosted by Dave Navarro and Holly Robinson-Peete, and rocker bowlers will include Meat Loaf, Slash, and members of Anthrax, Great White, Ratt, Warrant, Candlebox, Lit, Cinderella, and L.A. Guns.

This is definitely something I would have sold a body part to attend when I was a teenager.

There will also be a silent auction of rock memorabilia, including signed guitars from Linkin Park and Tom Petty. Tickets are $150 and all go toward fighting autism. To get yours, visit Vh1ClassicBowloff.com

As previously stated, Ecorazzi loves us some Linkin Park!! I mean what’s not to fawn over? These dudes have seriously helped pioneer the green movement by organizing programs from recycling and fan awareness to global offset and biodiesel alternatives. Well now the city of London, Ontario, Canada is giving fans attending the Linkin Park concert at the John Labatt Centre on Saturday Feb. 23 a free (more environmentally friendly) ride.

The initiative is called “Go Green for No Green,” and is supported by the Global Spectrum Facility Management, London Transit, the City of London, and Linkin Park. Free rides will be given to those taking the bus or participating in a carpool of at least 4 people and will be available throughout the evening. All you gotta do is show your Linkin Park ticket when boarding the bus (or parking your well stocked car) and your ride (or parking space) is on the house.

Brian Ohl, Global Spectrum Regional vice-resident said, “We are extremely pleased to partner with Linkin Park, London Transit and the City of London to provide this environmentally friendly initiative. This just adds to the many efforts we are undertaking to make the venue and our city a little greener. We applaud Linkin Park’s vision and are proud to work with them on this show.”

Once again, another country has totally kicked our (the U.S) ass in coming up with new and improved ways to take green to the next level. So if you live up north, load your car or grab a bus and go take advantage of some good old fashion free awesomeness! That’s what I’m talking ABOOT!

This time, they’re focusing on the tragedy of the recent Cyclone in Bangladesh. From the release,

“On November 15th Cyclone Sidr brought winds of up to 150 miles an hour, creating a 15 foot sea surge, devastating coastal regions in Bangladesh. The storm killed approximately 3,500 people, left over 40,000 injured while over 800 people are still missing. 8.5 million people have been affected by the cyclone and tens of thousands of people are still in urgent need of food, shelter, medical supplies and clean drinking water.”

Up for auction on the eBay site are signed posters, XBOX360s, guitars, and VIP tickets for 4 to various Linkin Park concerts around the world. Absolutely all funds raised will be distributed in the region to help provide food, shelter, medical supplies and clean drinking water to survivors.

Hit the auction to take a look and help out a great cause!

We want to continue make this cause a topic of conversation.”

Wall intends to build upon his influence in orchestrating every government of the world to come together, negotiate and ratify a treaty for environmental change by 2010. Go get ‘em, Kevin!

In the meantime, a Live Earth DVD and a Live Earth CD will be available for sale in two weeks worldwide. The DVD has three parts: onstage performances, a behind-the-scenes documentary of creating and greening the show, and a collection of 20 short films that were made for the event. The CD/DVD package will feature Linkin Park, Metallica, Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, The Police, Kelly Clarkson, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, John Mayer, Beastie Boys, Keith Urban, Rihanna and many more. Sounds like the perfect ecorazzi holiday gift!
