Not only does this tribute feature my childhood hometown musical hero, Black Francis, but it also boasts Maynard from Tool, The Flaming Lips, A Place To Bury Strangers, Chantal from Morningwood and my favorite San Francisco Silverlakers, Film School.
Plus it was produced with love (and rockets) by Christopher the Minister from Sirius Radio and the lovely Phil J of Swinghouse Studios fame…plus art work by Shepard Fairey…is it Christmas?
