Callum Robbins turned two over the weekend, but he's got more buds than most folks twice his age. As you know, Callum is the son of Jawbox/Burning Airlines/Channels man J. Robbins and Channels' Janet Morgan. Unfortunately, Callum has Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy, an incurable genetic motor neuron disease.

The indie rock community has come out in droves to support Callum's cause, holding numerous fundraisers to help J. and Janet in paying for Callum's treatment and care. Now, more pals of Callum have started an auction of cool swag on eBay that oughta help keep you and the Robbins family rockin'.

Items up for grabs include: a signed eight-piece set of ultra-rare Mission of Burma 12" singles issued just prior to The Obliterati, copies of Shellac's hard-to-find LP The Futurist, a copy of Craig Wedren's Shudder to Think lyric notebook from the Pony Express Record era, a 4-DVD set of footage from the Pony Express Record sessions, a signed 250-gram vinyl test pressing of John Vanderslice's Emerald City, a vinyl test pressing of Jawbox's (awesome) For Your Own Special Sweetheart, a children's package from Kristin Hersh, and a silkscreened Evens poster signed by Ian MacKaye and Amy Farina.

In the non-tangible department, they're also auctioning off a guitar lesson from Geoff Farina of Karate/Glorytellers and a drum lesson from Jawbox's Zach Barocas.

All that is available for your bidding pleasure right here. Most of these auctions end in just about a week, so you'll want to act fast.

Not sure you're ready to step up to the auction block, but still want to support the cause? You can donate directly to the Robbins family here. Or you can support Callum Robbins via Gordon Withers' Jawbox on Cello: A Benefit for Callum Robbins, a CD of Jawbox tunes rearranged for a cello quartet. That disc is available now. Finally, for a great collection of live tracks from past Callum benefits (plus another opportunity to donate), head to Bradley's Almanac at once.
