Halloween Finally Gets Its Own Benefit Song
Following in the footsteps of Live Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?", the indie community has gathered 'round and recorded, yes, a benefit song devoted to the prevention initiative of Halloween. The charity collaboration of "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en" is being used to raise money for UNICEF and features contributions from an array of artists that include: Arcade Fire's Win & Regine Beck Buck 65 David Cross Devendra Banhart Liane Balaban (Dessert) Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Feist Gino Washington Syd Butler (Les Savy Fav) J'aime (Island) Malcom McLaren (Sex Pistols) Nardwuar The Human Serviette Peaches Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel / Postal Service) Steven McDonald (Redd Kross) Joey Waronker (Walt Mink/Beck/R.E.M.) Jenny Lewis & Blake Sennet (Rilo Kiley) Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators) Chris Murphy (Sloan) Smoosh Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) Russell Mael (Sparks) Subtitle Stevo (Sum 41) Tagaq (Throat Singer, Bjork collaborator) Anna Waronker (That Dog) Dan & Spencer (Wolf Parade) Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeah's) The single is scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 11th, but you can already stream a lo-fi version of the track over at Vice Records' website. If you transfer it over to your iPod, be sure to tag the genre as "WTF, but I'll still listen anyway because The Arcade Fire are on it".
