93XRT (WXRT) is, after all, Chicago's finest rock (this is their claim, anyhow). So who better than they to put some of the finer rock and pop acts together in service of charity and, you know, general rockingness?

For the tenth volume of ONXRT: Live from the Archives-- their ongoing compilation series collecting live performances from the XRT studios and around the Chicago area-- newish recordings from the Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, Calexico, Lily Allen, and Snow Patrol rub elbows with a trio of archival entries from the Pretenders, a pre-Modest Mouse Johnny Marr, and the late Warren Zevon.

All that eclecticism is in service of a good cause or two: proceeds from sales of the disc will go to support the Little City Foundation and the Greater Illinois Chapter of the MS Society. ONXRT 10 is available now through 93XRT's website and at Chicagoland Starbucks locations.
