Semiannual arts mag Esopus has its 11th issue back from the presses and ready to ship, and with a new issue of Esopus comes a new themed compilation.

The sources are as diverse as radio DJs, Billy Graham, and "Savage Love", and the tunes come from Shearwater, Wye Oak, Lucky Dragons, Stuart Dahlquist, Jenny Owen Youngs, the Muslims, and the Wingdale Community Singers (aka author Rick Moody, artist Nina Katchadourian, and musical types David Grubbs and Hannah Marcus), among others.
