It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.

Dark Was The Night
To raise money for HIV/AIDS a pretty interesting group of artists/bands were put together for the making of what I would call a charity album. Arcade Fire, Cat Power, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, My Morning Jacket and David Byrne were all included in this 31 track record. The album is called Dark Was The Night. All in all the album raised £400,000, (which would be 696 994.83 in Canadian dollars). The money was raised for a program that helps HIV/AIDS charaties all over the world, The Red Hot Organization.
