Donate to a good cause and get some good music in return . On February 17th, the Red Hot Organization will be releasing Dark Was The Night, its next compilation in support of HIV and AIDS awareness. The list of artists who contributed new songs to the 32-track compilation reads as a who’s who of the hippest bands/artists around right now. I’m talking Cat Bear, My Morning Grizzly, Arcade Feist, The National Pornographers, Bon Fire, Sufjan Spoon, Yo Lo Sharon Joneso. From now until its release, you can hear a different track each day at www.myspace.com/darkwasthenight.
