Do You Want To Kick Calling All Cars Out Of The Country?

Name: Butterfly Boucher
Project: Complete recreation of debut album
Current Status: 732 pledges, 96% of unknown goal achieved, seven days remaining.

Have you ever yearned for the past so badly that you've decided you would attempt to completely recreate it? Well we can't be sure that's exactly how Butterfly Boucher feels, but we can tell you that she has decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her debut album Flutterby by completely re-recording it, which is really something.

She's hoping fans are going to be as excited by the idea as she is (we're sure they will be) and is calling on her dedicated supporters to chip in a little cash to make it all happen. Honestly, a lot of the good stuff has already been snapped up, but you can still score yourself some cool perks if you're willing to dig deep.

There are a few costumes from Boucher's film clips and from the cover of the original Flutterby LP for between $3,000 and $5,000 a pop, you can have her lay down a bass track for your recording for $850, a set of three hand drawn prints is going for $320 or a big collectors' pack for $525. Of course you can also just grab a copy of the record if that's more your thing.

Name: Calling All Cars
Project: Moving to the UK
Current Status: 24 pledges, 5% of unknown goal, 109 days remaining.

The lads in Calling All Cars are keen to hit the UK with their brand new record in hand to try and see what they can do over there, and you can help them make it happen.

They're offering heaps of pretty cool shit, like their tour van, with a full backline setup ($20,000), a private show ($5,000 full band, $2,500 acoustic), a day of recording and production in a professional studio ($1,500), a go-karting trip ($200) or even the pair of jeans that Haydn was wearing when he was knocked out at the 2012 Sydney Big Day Out.

Everyone who pledges (the minimum is $10) will get a digital copy of the new record when it's released on Friday 7 March, 2014.

Name: Saul Jarvie
Project: Vinyl pressing of new LP
Current Status: 30 pledges, 55% ($1,935) of $3,500 goal achieved. 39 days remaining.

Melburnian musician Saul Jarvie has made a real sweet new record and is, like so many, keen to have this piece of work he's put so much of himself into fully realised with a vinyl release.

His crowdfunding campaign is a simple one; he's offering the record for pre-order with more expensive pacakges adding on 7” records, watercolour paintings and test pressings to name a few. No car washes or Skype calls or pieces of clothing from his personal wardrobe to be found.

Also in crowdfunding this week:

Ever wanted someone dead? Well you should go and see a mental health professional about that immediately. But frighteningly, crowdfunding murder is something that is already in operation, Forbes has reported, as a website called The Assassination Market (available through the Tor anonymity network) allows people to contribute money to put bounties on the heads of government officials. The eventual aim is that enough politicians will be killed that all governments around the world will dissolve.

Those people tired of lugging around their Costanza wallets and rifling through all manner of different credit cards to get to the one they need to use will be pretty psyched about Coin – it's basically one card that you input all of your different cards' information into, so that is all you need. Check out the video on their website, they're crowdfunding its launch (apparently it's going very well) and it's either going to change the world or make a lot of people very frustrated.
