Hi everybody-Flansburgh here. I had the idea to create a MoveOn.Org benefit album, and through the help of Barsuk in Seattle, it's all coming together. Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze joined in to our steering committee and the lineup is pretty amazing (and will be announced shortly).

The release date is July 6 and should be available on all formats then. We're contributing a minor-key version of the song "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too,"a campaign song from 1840 (and quite a catchy number I should add).

To find out why - go to MoveOn.Org.
