OCCUPY ALL MUSIC. As if the movement didn't get enough coverage already, various artists have agreed to create a compilation of songs to put on an album in which all proceeds will be sent to benefit all aspects of Occupy. At first when I heard this, I was a little on the fence about it until I saw the predicted contributors to the album. First of all, Thievery Corporation will throw down some tracks which I personally am ecstatic about. Along with Tom Morello, Crosby & Nash, Mogwai (!!!), Yo La Tengo, Willie Nelson, Immortal Technique, and Cosmonaut, this is starting to look promising. With all of the benefit albums out there, I'd say that this has one of the best lineups in terms of diversity and sound. Most of these artists have been politically involved with protests and several are celebrities of their musical generation. Although the Occupy movement has caused a whole lot of controversy and there will be a fair share of people not looking forward to this or where the proceeds are going, the music is enough to look past that. The album is said to be released sometime in the Spring.

 Here's the complete lineup for you guys to drool over, or spit on (drool, preferably): Aeroplane Pageant, Alex Emanuel, Black Dragon, Chroma, Cosmonaut, Crosby and Nash, Dangerfield, Devo, DJ Logic, Dylan Chambers, Global Block, Harry Hayward, Immortal Technique, Jackson Browne, Jay Samel, Jennie Arnau, Joel Rafael, Joseph Arthur, Julie B. Bonnie, Junkyard Empire, Ladytron, Lloyd Cole, Los Cintron, Loudon Wainwright III, Lucinda Williams, Matt Pless, Mike + Ruthy, Mike Rimbaud, Mogwai, My Pet Dragon, Mystic Bowie, Our Lady Peace, Richard Barone, Ronny Elliot, Stephan Said, Taj Weekes, Tao Rodriguez Seeger, the Guthrie Family, the Middle Eight, Third Eye Blind, Thievery Corporation, Tom Morello, Toots and the Maytals, Warren Haynes, Willie Nelson, Yoko Ono, and Yo La Tengo.
