So between recording new material for The National, guitarist (and brothers) Aaron and Bryce Dessner have put together an insane compilation with proceeds going to aid the Red Hot Organization which raises awareness about AIDS and HIV. And by insane, I mean INSANE: Dirty Projectors + David Byrne, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst, and plenty more with all 31 tracks featuring a well known artist performing original work. So head over to their myspace page to check out a new stream every day for the next month or so and be sure to get the album when it comes out February 16th to help a good cause!
