A compendium of benefit compilations and related items recently noted and received:

    Benefit Compilations

  • Coming Together For A Cure, Vol. 2, featuring songs from Thee Oh Sees, Cave Singers, Elf Power and many more, to support adult stem cell therapy and research.
  • Posting this one again because when it comes to noonday demons and black dogs run amok, April is not the cruelest month, September is: Country Fried Rock Vol. 2 for Nuci’s Space, featuring songs from Drivin n Cryin, the District Attorneys, Shonna Tucker & Eye Candy, Michelle Malone Banned and many more, to support Nuci’s Space, a non-profit health and music resource center in Athens, GA.

    The aim of the organization is to prevent suicide by providing obstacle free treatment for musicians suffering from depression and other such disorders as well as to assist in the emotional, physical and professional well-being of musicians.

  • National Endowment for the Brents, featuring songs from a broad variety of Chicago and Los Angeles musicians, including JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, Bumpus, Terrible Spaceship, and Rachael Yamagata, to help “sexy sax man” Brent Puls pay for some recent life-saving surgery.
