Dirty projectors & David Byrne - Knotty Pine (MP3)

Also, take time to stop by Dark Was the Night's MySpace page to hear a different song each day or so from the collection.

I can't wait to get my hands on this thing; the complete track list is almost unbelievably great. The collection will be available as a double CD, triple vinyl, and a download, so make sure you pick it up one way or another on February 17th to support a good cause and dramatically improve your music library.
