Benefit Compilations - KCRW Tidbits



Dangerbird Records has teamed up with Filter Magazine and Urban Outfitters to release a two-disc compilation Give.Listen.Help. Disc one features previously unreleased tracks (from the likes of the Little Ones and Rilo Kiley) and remixes (from the likes of Oasis and Bloc Party). Disc two features Dangerbird artists (Silversun Pickups, Sea Wolf, Darker My Love Dears, etc.). 93% of all proceeds will go to benefit the Pablove Foundation - which was set up by Dangerbird co-founder, Jeff Castelaz after his five year old son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. These funds are earmarked for Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
