Did You Notice the New Foo Fighters Song That Came Out Yesterday?

Planned Parenthood is under siege from the right in the US. Funding has been cut as the organization has been demonized by those who don’t agree with its goals and the services it provides.

Fortunately for PP, though, they have some friends in the music business who would like to help out. 

7-Inches for Planned Parenthood is a curated series of (obviously) 7-inch singles designed to benefit PP. While the digital tracks are available today, the physical product won’t be available until next week (October 27). Contributors among the 33 tracks include the late Elliott Smith, CHVRCHES, Feist and Bon Iver. There are also performances from comedians (including Zach Galifianakas) and spoken word from several people, including Margaret Atwood.

Let’s take a listen to the Foo Fighters track.
