Here's a very interesting compilation CD that will be released on Februray 17th, Dark Was the Night. It's a benefit for HIV / AIDS awareness. There are quite a few artists on it that I like, I'll be picking this one up (as well as Neko Case' upcoming CD).

It may be cheaper elsewhere, but just to toss out a price, it's $12.99 at Amazon. You can also listen to clips from each track at Amazon's site:

Nice.

You Are The Blood is like a war with one country carrying unlimited tanks, personnel, and ammo up against one dude with a stick and a garbage can lid for a shield. ONSLAUGHT!

Picked this up last night, 11.99 on itunes. Great stuff on here.

Anyone find this in a B&M?

The iTunes price is now $15.99... with DRM (DRM free not offered).

Deep Discount has it for $12 (free shipping, no minimum required) as do other sellers like Amazon (Amazon's price dropped a dollar to $12, was $13). And you can download it through Amazon for $10.

Personally, I had something else to pick up through Amazon so I just ordered it there. It's in the mail system right now.

The reviews I'm reading are mostly positive.

could be i buy on itunes canada due to a much better selection - still 11.99 up there.

If you liked this CD... download the concert through the iTunes podcast "Live Concerts from All Songs Considered Podcast".

It's free and about 105 minutes long. Many of the artists (but not all) put on a concert with many of the songs off of the album.
