David Byrne has a post over at his blog (thanks for the tip, Jen) about collaborating with hyper balladeers Dirty Projectors for an upcoming Red Hot compilation. You've likely seen these collections in the past: Starting with 1990's Red Hot + Blue, and through 2002's Red Hot + Riot: The Music and Spirit of Fela Kuti, the series, via the Red Hot Organization, benefits AIDS research. Byrne's been a part of a few of them. He's very excited about this one:

So, who's on this one? Feist, Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear, Sharon Jones, The Decembrists, The National -- jeez, what a lineup!

After that, he gets more specific about the Dirty Projectors and the track he and Longstreth concocted, even if they refuse to look each other in the eye.
