Good Comp, Good Cause!!

It's nice that iTunes has their own superstar Songs for Japan benefit compilation, with proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross.


But if you're reading this, I really think you should check out Benefit for the Recovery in Japan, proceeds to Civic Force! (First seen at Altered Zones...)

I'd started this post quite awhile ago, but comp's still up - and four-plus hours at $15, it's a complete steal. Quite the introduction to a a bunch of heavy-hitters (and some personal faves), and a wide range of weirdo genres: electronics, guitar, minimalism, drone, some noise, even a little "rock" music.

Something(s) along the lines of this...
