American fashion retailer Urban Outfitters has been busy putting together a charity compilation album in aid of UNICEF's post-tsunami relief effort - and such was the response to their request for bands to donate tracks that they've decided to make it a double album. The charity album, featuring rarities from all sorts of CMU favourites - including Franz Ferdinand, Hot Hot Heat,
Grandaddy, Mercury Rev and Futureheads - will be sold through the fashion chain's stores from 28 Feb. No word on whether it'll get any kind of UK release, but you'll be hoping it does given the line up:
