A heap of the biggest names in the indie universe have answered Waxploitation's call to contribute tracks to the first installment of the label's Causes series.

This first compilation takes the Darfur conflict as the object of its aid, and 100% of the proceeds from sales of the comp will go to one of three non-profits: Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam America.

Causes 1 comes out November 27. It will be available on iTunes for only 90 days, in order to highlight the urgency of the situation in Darfur. Waxploitation will also issue a limited edition CD, which is available for pre-order by signing up here.

Causes 1 (not final sequence):

Animal Collective: Safer (Live) [exclusive]
The Black Keys: Stay All Night (Chulahoma Session) [exclusive]
Bloc Party: Rhododendrons
Bright Eyes: Coat Check Dream Song (Live) [exclusive]
Cornelius: Wataridori (Piano Version) [exclusive]
The Cure: The Walk (Live)
David Sylvian: Late Night Shopping (Chris Vrenna Remix) [exclusive]
Death Cab for Cutie: World Shut Your Mouth (Julian Cope cover)
(International) Noise Conspiracy: Washington Bullets
The Shins: Turn on Me (Clint Mansell Remix) [exclusive]
Spoon: Rhthm & Soul (Middle Version) [exclusive]
Teargas & Plateglass: One Day Across the Valley
Thievery Corporation: Passing the Stars
Travis: Gimme Some Truth (John Lennon cover) [exclusive]

I wonder how the organizers... (Below threshold)

I wonder how the organizers of this benefit feel about Jimmy Carter's recent proclamation that all is well in Drafur. To paraphrase:

"No genocide here. Move along, folks!"
