Dark Was The Night

Couple months behind on this one. It's been a busy year. A friend clued me in to one of the best compilation albums in recent memory. Dark Was The Night is a two disk powerhouse put together by the guys from The National to benefit the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture. Above video is one of three I found of Vimeo, and explains a little of the who, what, and why; so watch it and then pick up the album. Seriously, name an indie group and they're probably on it. Plus there's a few collaborations and tracks that wouldn't make a studio album (such is the case with the above).
