Everyone wanted to do something to help, so a bunch of his musician mates from New Zealand and around the world have gotten together to do what they do best to celebrate Chris' music by recording versions of his songs. The selected tracks span Chris' entire career, from the Enemy, Toy Love, and Tall Dwarfs, to his solo recordings and his most recent band the Nothing. Jay Reatard, Yo La Tengo, the Mountain Goats, the Verlaine's, Boh Runga, David Kilgour, Lambchop, Bill Callahan, Will Oldham and many more have contributed songs to the album, which has 32 tracks in all. The stunning cover was designed by Chris' fellow Tall Dwarf band mate Alec Bathgate and uses Chris' favorite color combination of yellow and black. All proceeds is going to assist Chris with his recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJay Reatard - Pull Down the Shades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Checks - Rebel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Bleeding Allstars - Ain't It Nice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peter Gutteridge - Don't Catch Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Chills - Luck or Loveliness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e David Kilgour - Nothing's Going to Happen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Crying Wolfs - All My Hollowness to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stephin Merritt - Beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Portastatic - Nostalgia's No Excuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mint Chicks - Crush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jay ; Sam Clarkson - I've Left Memories Behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sky Green Leopards - Burning Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shayne Carter - the Slide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pumice - Grand Mal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hamish Kilgour - Knoxed Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boh Runga - Not Given Lightly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Red ; Zeke - Bodies [FT.
