Live from Nowhere Near You: Volume 2 (7/6 Update)

Buy This Album!!!

Well, away we go...  As of yesterday "Live From Nowhere Near You: Volume 2" is officially released.  So far it has created quite a buzz.  With such a long and distinguished line up it has garnered interest from all over (like pitchfork twice, both here and here, and even Portland mayor Sam Adams).  There is new info on different tracks coming out regularly at the fan page on facebook.

The album is now out in stores or online, but the "pre-release" link is still active and you can get a better deal here.  There are many tracks that are only available on the physical CD version .  Also keep in mind it is a 210 minute, 3 CD set (as well as the digital version) for $15.  And all of the proceeds go to charity.  If you don't have it yet, you should.  And if you do have it, let me know what you think...

Keep an eye out for The Polymouth Review over the next few days...

Live From Nowhere Near You: Volume 2 (Update)

There is more news coming out about the charity concept album "Live From Nowhere Near You: Volume 2" every day.  The album pairs popular bands with street musicians and is raising money for the homeless and street youth programs. 

The best place to get up to date information is at the facebook fan page.  But in case you aren't "on the 'book", or you can't look it up while at the office, or you prefer getting info from quaint, small, hard to find blogs, or you're the guy who helped start facebook but got squeezed out through stock dilution and can't support the fan page on principals, or signing up for facebook is just to much commitment for you, or whatever your reason may be, here are some of the latest updates:

1. Buying at the Pre-Release Sale link (here) gets you BOTH the digital download and the physical 3 Disc CD collection.
2. There are several songs that are only available on the 3 CD set
3. The Strokes are only going to be available on the 3 CD set (not the digital download)
4. Elliott Smith will have 2 songs on the album, 1 previously unreleased, and 1 with members of Heatmiser (not to be confused with this Heat Miser), and The Decemberists

Buying the album in the Pre-Release Sale basis is not only going to be cheaper (only $15 for 3 CDs, over 210 minutes of music), but you are going to get songs that will not be included on the digital version.  Once again the Pre-Realease Sale link is right here.

And if you can't join the fan page, come on back to The Polymouth, we will try to bring updates asap.

Support a cool cause, and get some cool tunes:)

Live From Nowhere Near You: Volume 2 (Pre Release Sale Link)

Hey Kids,

Here is something really cool that The Polymouth is proud to be a part of supporting.  Live from Nowhere Near You is a project done by a close friend of The Polymouth collaborating many of todays best loved and influential musical artist with street musicians, with all of the proceeds going to charities that help the homeless and street youth.  Volume 1 was released in 2003 to critical acclaim, and Volume 2 is set to be released in the next few weeks.

We are lucky enough to have access to a Pre Release Sale.  Volume 2 makes up for the time since the last release in both scope (it is comprised of 3 discs) and talent (the list of todays top acts is quite impressive).  If you hit the link above you can get the whole album for only $15 until the release date!

I would be remiss if I didn't give you the deets on what your $15 buys you:

• The 3 disc set with cover art, liner notes, and tales of how the songs came to be (including tracks NOT on the digital download)
• The Digital Download of the 3 discs as well
• Bonus songs and album preview tracks
• Braggin' rights that you had it before it was out in stores
• And a well deserved increase in self worth because you will know you did the right thing

Just SOME of the bands involved include:

Pearl Jam, The Strokes, Modest Mouse, The Dandy Warhols, Joe Purdy, The Helio Sequence, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Bright Eyes, Blind Pilot, The Presidents of the United States of America, and the list goes on, and on, and on...  There is even a song with Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers.  

This is a very cool project, done by really cool people, for a very cool cause.  Plus if you check it out now you get a good deal for it too! 

I will keep you updated as additional info comes along...
