Ever have the urge to color birds in Devendra Banhart's beard? Create hairstyles for the members of Rilo Kiley? Illustrate alternate cover art for The Dears' Missiles? Well, now you can. The Indie Rock Coloring Book is a whimsically interactive way to experience your favorite indie rock artists, compiled by the Montréal-based nonprofit organization Yellow Bird Project. Originally created as a way to give to worthy causes by allowing indie artists to design t-shirts, the proceeds from which would benefit charity organizations of the artists' choosing, Yellow Bird Project has paired with a long list of musicians such as Bon Iver, The National, and of Montreal since its formation in 2006. The Indie Rock Coloring Book is yet another in a line of creative, fun, and humanitarian projects from YBP. So dig out your crayons and revisit your youth to the tune of the indie-rock band of your choice. You'll be glad you did. (www.yellowbirdproject.com)

I LOVE this idea! Adults spend too much time working and too little time coloring. That’s why we are always so stressed and depressed. If more of us took time to do something as simple as coloring some birds in Devendra Banhart’s beard, we would be a lot healthier and happier. See guys, Indie music is looking out for your best interests. Way to go Indie music.
