Good Music, Even Better Cause
Philly-based international retailer Urban Outfitters and indie music publication Filter Magazine have banded together to release the third Give.Listen.Help. benefit CD. The CD will be sold exclusively at the 95 Urban Outfitter retail locations nationally, as well as on their website. $8.99 of the $9.99 cost of the CD will be donated to the Komen Foundation (as long as you buy it between now and March 15th of next year), where the money will be used for education, screening, treatment and research into the cause of breast cancer.
And that's awesome. You're supporting a cause and getting music at the same time. But what makes the whole thing even awesomer is that the music is actually really good. These are exclusive, live, and b-side tracks from major indie artists. We're talking Thom Yorke doing a different version of possibly the greatest track off his new CD, Wolfmother, Franz Ferdinand, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... Well, we could go on, but why don't you just check out the complete, ridiculously awesome track list below?
- Feist - "Inside and Out" (The Audience Honey remix)
- Thom Yorke - "Harrowdown Hill" (b-side)
- The Rapture - "Get Myself Into This" (Prince Language Disco Mix)
