for the past couple of months, i've been working with my friend tim molloy on a soundtrack to his new novel how to break bad news, which was published recently by virgin books. the soundtrack came out today as a free downloadable album on rcrd lbl and includes tracks by dirty on purpose, michna, sam champion, coco b's, and - you guessed it - meanest man contest. download, stream, or grab it as a widget to embed into your own site here.

if you're in new york this week, come hang out with us on thursday, april 9 at hugs in williamsburg, brooklyn, where we'll be having a little launch party for the soundtrack's release. tim will be reading from and signing copies of the book, and the guys from rcrd lbl and i will be doing dj sets that include songs from the album. event info and soundtrack tracklist below:
