Former Major Label Band Seeks Fan Funding

What do you do if your band gets dropped by Interscope Records (under the Universal Music Group umbrella) after your first album and you can't afford to record the second one, even though the first one sounded pretty good by a lot of people's reckoning? If you're Annie Hardy, the lead singer and only permanent member of Giant Drag, you put a Paypal button on your MySpace page asking fans to donate so that you can make your next album a reality.
