As far as charity records go, there may be none more sonically giving than Live From Nowhere Near You: Vol. 2. Organized to benefit Outside In, a Portland, OR-based non-profit that offers aid and counseling to homeless youth, the compilation features rare and unreleased tracks from Elliott Smith, Eddie Vedder, Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock, The Strokes, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, and a slew of other artists (check out the gargantuan tracklist below). Now, before everyone lays down their $15 for the three-disc collection, which you can do so here, the entire effort is available for streaming at Under The Radar. Giving back never sounded so amazing.
