Toyota and Urban Outfitters Free Yr Radio

Tyta & Urbn Outftrs wnt u 2 Free Yr Radio.

Oh, sorry, we got a little carried away there. Free Yr Radio is the name of a campaign between Toyota and Urban Outfitters to support independent radio, and to make sure that you can turn on the radio and actually find a non-commercial station.

To that end, Free Yr Radio is releasing a CD on Oct. 20, which will be available at Urban Outfitters stores and at the store’s website. The CD features live cuts, b-sides, and previously unreleased material from bands like Sonic Youth, The Rapture and Klaxons. All of the CD’s profits will be split between participating stations, so you have no reason not to head over to Urban Outfitters and support independent radio stations through your own consumption! Then again, maybe you just want to buy this owl lamp.
