Lots of fuss in early ’09 about a couple of different compilations–with hot collaborations, enlightening cover tracks and good causes, these discs are worth your time and cash. Dark Was The Night, put out by the beloved 4AD records, and is “thirty-two exclusive tracks have been recorded for the compilation, which will be available as a double cd, triple vinyl and download album, with profits benefiting the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. Heroes, put out by Astralworks, benefits War Child which “helps kids stranded in war zones across the world. Heroes has a pretty simple and great concept: Music legends pick the songs of theirs they want to hear covered and the younger artists they want to have cover their songs.” Sample some of the tracks below and get yourself to an indie shop and buy some shit!
