Father John Misty performed at the NYC Petty Fest in October which was a star-studded event that raised $15,000 for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Other special guests at the Jameson sponsored event included Caleb Followill of Kings of Leon, Fabrizio Moretti and Albert Hammond, Jr. of the Strokes, Cyndi Lauper, SNL’s Fred Armisen and John McEnroe. As you can guess these stars covered Tom Petty songs and were very successful at raising money for a good cause as they sold-out Webster Hall.

I have an irrational desire to own every color, but it makes no sense. Details:
It’s only fitting that indie stores get a very special vinyl edition of the soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino’s indie cult classic Reservoir Dogs. For Back to Black Friday, independent record stores will have the special Limited Edition 20th Anniversary release on randomly inserted, “Mister-y” colored vinyl: Blonde. Blue. Brown. Orange. White. And of course, Pink.
Reservoir Dogs, the first Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, set the standard for those to come with ‘70s nuggets (Blue Swede, Harry Nilsson, Bedlam, Joe Tex) and snippets of film dialogue, including bits from the director himself and the various Misters. This anniversary edition vinyl ear candy is individually numbered and limited to 4000 pieces.
