White Hinterland's Gear Stolen, Live Version Of "Hung On A Thin Thread"

We've shown our admiration for Casey Dienel, aka White Hinterland, and her newest collection of smart, pretty songs Phylactery Factory. The album's been in heavy rotation in these parts, the songs growing all the more gorgeous, so we were very bummed to hear her and her band's equipment was stolen over the weekend in New York City. They head out on tour with Taken By Trees in just over a week and they have nothing to make music with, so Casey's put together a Paypal account at the band's official site. If folks are interested in donating some money to the cause click here. In better news, White Hinterland's Fair Game session was broadcast yesterday. We have the spare, affecting take on "Hung On A Thin Thread," along with the list of what was stolen, after the jump. Right, bittersweet.
