FUTURE SOUNDTRACK FOR AMERICA

Barsuk Records is set to release a fundraising CD compilation, titled future soundtrack for america, a joint project with MoveOn.org and Music For America, on August 10th. The compilation will include R.E.M.'s "The Final Straw (MoveOn mix)." McSweeney's Publishing is also releasing a book with similar fundraising goals that will include a copy of the CD; the future dictionary of america features contributions from an astounding group of almost 200 writers, from Paul Auster to Michael Chabon to Jonathan Franzen to Joyce Carol Oates to Kurt Vonnegut to Wendy Wasserstein.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the book and CD projects will go to non-profit progressive organizations, including Music For America, Common Assets, The Sierra Club, and others.

The CD will be available in most stores and in the barsuk shop; something tells us that you just might be able to get it a few days earlier if you're on the MoveOn e-mail list...

I'm sorry but Linda's profile would eclipse anyone except maybe Michael Moore these days.

I'd love to see go, but it's a bit far :-(

Take pictures, please, and share with those of us less fortunate? :-)
