String Quartet Survivalism

So, sometime last year, Vitamin Records approached me with news about a new compilation of String Quartet covers they had put out on CD, including a cover of Survivalism, asking if I would say something about it on the site. Well, the other bands that were covered on the CD included Good Charlotte, Bullet for my Valentine, Linkin Park, Sick Puppies, Cute is What We Aim For... and, yeah, I didn't really have it in me to pimp out a CD like that. While the Survivalism track is kinda neat, I can't honestly say that it's worth buying the whole CD just for that one track. Posting about it would just send everyone to torrent sites looking for it.

Well, I got a kind of follow-up email yesterday, letting me know that you can grab the track from Amazon.com as a DRM-free MP3 or via iTunes. That news I don't feel bad sharing with you, so check it out.
