--"HONEST STRINGS: A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND WORK OF JACK ROSE"
DOWNLOAD COMPILATION AVAILABLE--

It should come as no secret to anyone who reads these updates that we
were pretty shocked about the December passing of our friend Jack
Rose. While it has been tough around here and actions are no
substitute for the man himself, we have been busy curating a download-
only tribute "album" to Jack. This compilation is monstrous and
insanely full of good material - it's a very fitting tribute to the
man. The compilation, "Honest Strings: A Tribute To The Life And Work
Of Jack Rose," is now up and available for sale exclusively from the
download portion of the Thrill Jockey site, FINA. This compilation
costs $15, an absolute bargain for what you are getting, with 100% of
the purchase price will go to Jack's estate. The compilation itself
is, get this, six and a half hours long. Yes, you read that right.
Follow this direct link http://fina-music.com/catalog/index.html?id=104712 to go to the compilation's location at the FINA store where
