HOLY SHIT!

If you read this, like, ever, you know how much I love the National. Well, the two guitar players, who also happen to be brothers, have curated a compilation for an AIDS charity called Red Hot. It is called Dark Was the Night and will be available on 2/17 here in the states. The tracklisting is out of this world! I could go on and on about it, but ... fuck it, I will. There are new tracks from The National, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, Kevin Drew, Cat Power, Arcade Fire, and more. But wait. It gets better. Collaborations. Feist with the Griz! Feist with Ben Gibbard! Dirty Projectors and David Byrne! Antony and Bryce! And the one I am most excited for... Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner! Holy shit! For those of you unfamiliar, that is the dude from Bon Iver and a dude from The National. That has the potential to be the best song ever! I may be over exagerating a bit, but it will rule nonetheless.
