Score: Fragments of Hope

Poolside (Poolside.com)

Been a bit since I posted a song here and I'm about to bubble your ears off.  Remixing Nobuo Uematsu's "Fragments of Memories" from Final Fantasy VIII, Poolside - comprised of Josh Whelchel and Melinda Hershey - have put together a piece of pop....that well if you hate pop run for the hills. But if you're a fan, you'll likely enjoy "Shining Down."

But aside from being musical talents, they are also big of heart. The duo is contributing "Shining Down" as well as another Hershey song to the 30-plus indie artist Songs for the Cure '10 project to help raise $10, 000 for the American Cancer Society. The project is halfway there with $5,905 raised at the time this is published. Instructions on how to donate - as well as a sampling of the music you can receive a for contributing at least $10 to the project - can be found at http://cancerdrive.org.

For now, here's Poolside's "Shining Down."
