Album:Songs For Tibet -The Art of Peace compilation
Musicians from nearly every genre contributed to a new compilation album with hopes of peace in Tibet. John Mayer, Regina Spektor, Underworld, Moby, Ben Harper, Suzanne Vega, Madonna, Sting, Dave Matthews and many more each have a song on SONGS FOR TIBET - The Art of Peace. The double CD features 20 artists in all and will be released on the eve of the Beijing Olympics this year. Acording to the press release:
These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.

Very cool... thanks for the links.
i'll be working with Moby tomorrow night streaming a live show on KCRW.COM
funny thing, but the link is already up even though the show hasn't happened yet!

will he do his "Tibet" track live tomorrow night? we'll see.
Robin - that would be fantastic if he played "We Are All Made Of Stars" on the radio show! It's not a new tune, so it's very possible. I'm guessing that the version on the Tibet compilation is one of those "acoustically-driven" numbers, because the song has been released before:
i actually have a setlist in my hands, but my lips are sealed.
this is looking rather promising, hope it sounds as good as it looks
alright then, looking forward to it Thursday night!
also John Mayer's "Belief":
Wonder how this sounds acoustic - Underworld's "To Heal":
