Many of us Scottish musicians have received so much love and support over the years from friends and fans in Japan. Now we want to send some love and support back to the people of Japan. 'Love Letter to Japan' is a special compilation album that will be available to purchase via Bandcamp for one month only from Monday, April 11th. All funds from online sales of this album will go directly to the Japanese Red Cross relief efforts. Here's who's on it: The Pastels, Craig Armstrong, Eugenius, Snowgoose, BMX Bandits, Stevie Jackson, Alasdair Roberts, Paul Quinn, Bill Wells, Hidden Masters, Jo Mango, The Pearlfishers, Ally Kerr, Lenzie Moss, St. Deluxe, Randolph's Leap and Momus. Most of the tracks on the compilation are previously unreleased (including the first new Eugenius track in 15 years), the others are not widely available elsewhere. The album 'Love Letter to Japan', including artwork, will be exclusively available to download at lovelettertojapan.bandcamp.com from April 11th 2011. -- music       http://www.last.fm/user/bluflower/ photos     http://flickr.com/photos/bluflower myspace http://www.myspace.com/lauree blog         http://wordtravelsfast.net/
