DOING IT FOR THE KIDS

We've already had Live Aid redux, and now we're also getting a reworking of the Warchild Help album project - bands are already cluttering up studios across the world for the A Day In The Life project. The work started at noon, and it will continue until noon tomorrow, after which time there should be an album's worth of gubbins ready for downloading tomorrow from 2pm. And then a CD like you used to get. Here's what we can expect:

* Antony and the Johnsons - Happy Xmas War is Over
* Belle & Sebastian - The Eighth Station of the Cross Kebab House
* Bloc Party - The Present
* The Coral (produced by Portishead's Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley) - It Was Nothing
* Damien Rice - Crosseyed Bear
* Elbow - Snowball
* Emmanuel Jal - Gua
* The Go! Team - Phantom Broadcast
* Gorillaz - Hong Kong
* Hard-Fi - Help Me Please
* Kaiser Chiefs - I Heard It Through the Grapevine
* Keane and Faultline - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
* The Magic Numbers - Gone Are the Days
* The Manic Street Preachers - Leviathan
* Maximo Park - Wasteland
* Mylo - to be confirmed
* Radiohead - I Want None of It
* Razorlight - Kirby's House
* Tinariwen - to be confirmed
* The Zutons - Hello Conscience

Hmm, there's a few things there that make us a little curious (and a couple that, really, make us feel like saying 'there's no rush').
