Press Release Summary = Online Indie Community put their most dispised tracks on
REPEAT for a good cause!


Press Release Body = Randomville, USA - For a two-week period in October, members of
independent entertainment web magazine Randomville.com's message boards will
sacrifice their normal listening habits and submit to their worst musical
nightmares. The results will benefit The Bryan and Kathryn Harvey Family Endowment
at The Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia, which helps fund
local and regional arts.

The idea stemmed from a poster who took it upon himself to disprove a recent media
outlet's listing of the 'Worst Songs' in rock, by listening to the song in question
on repeat for many hours. The resultant message board postings were not only
informative, but hilarious. One by one, other brave volunteers began posting songs
they found difficult to personally listen to, and it was decided they'd mirror the
original experiment by listening to their choices in an effort to gain pledges and
raise money for charity.

Volunteers chose a day and time where they will play their torturous track on repeat
for hours on end. Most will listen to their designated songs for up to eight to ten
hours straight, though some sponsors have upped the ante by suggesting songs to
increase the degree of difficulty. Participants are required to post their
thoughts on how they survive the ordeal, with the most creative and interesting
poster winning prizes.

Updates on the latest participants and outcomes may be found on the randomville.com
