WARD OFF COURT: Good news for fans of M Ward - There's a new album ready. And just look at the line-up of talent helping out:

jim james (my morning jacket)
jenny lewis (rilo kiley, the postal service)
howe gelb (giant sand)
john parish (p.j. harvey)
rachel blumberg (the decemberists)
mike coykendall (the old joe clarks)
vic chesnutt
nick luca (calexico)
jordan hudson (the thermals)

- although, to be honest, we'd have thought john parish (the chesterfields) would have been better, but that's just us. The new album is called Transistor Radio, and ready for pre-ordering.

Why, why, why does no one ever come to New Orleans? It's fun here, Matt Ward. Lots of fun. Seriously, Si, if you were a band, wouldn't you come to New Orleans on tour? Why wouldn't you? Why?

Well, naturally I would, but I'd expect you to put me up for the night, and show me the sights.
