In what is perhaps the deal of the year (SO FAR), the Walkmen’s ridiculously good new album, You & Me, is available now — in advance of its August 19 official release date — for only $5 here. I know, you already downloaded the leak, but this is for a great cause, as all of your 5 bucks will go to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, as part of AmieStreet.com’s “Download to Make a Difference” campaign. From the press release:

“All donations go to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in honor of Luca Vasallo, a friend to the band and a current patient who is seven months old and doing a great job fighting a very difficult disease,” said Peter Bauer of The Walkmen. “This is a very good organization that certainly deserves the attention.”

So yeah, you’re getting one of the best albums of the year in glorious 320 kbps mp3 format, and helping kids with cancer, all for only 5 bucks. You’re sort of a jerk if you don’t do this.

the walkmen :: the new year
