This song is probably my favourite from the 7 Worlds Collide album, a beautiful, haunting song. Phil’s recording an album as we speak, with the help of his new mates from Wilco. Go Phil!

I like this song by KT Tunstall, very vibrant and quite different from the rest of the songs on the album. In this performance she has Johnny Marr on guitar, Neil Finn on the keyboards, and Bic Runga on backing. Not bad at all.
7 Worlds Collide
My favourite music DVD has to be the 7 Worlds Collide gig – a series of concerts organised by Neil Finn with friends that included Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, Johnny Marr from The Smiths, and Phil and Ed from Radiohead. The gig was wonderful and full of life, considering the band only had 5 days to practise from scratch! But one of my favourite songs on it was The Smiths’ There is a light. It actually compelled me to go out and buy a Smiths compilation.
Seven years later, Neil’s organised another supergroup, but this time they’re recording an album of new songs as well as playing 3 shows! The Radiohead boys are back as well as Johnny Marr. And again I was impressed with a Smiths cover of Please Please Please, ably sung and played by Johnny and backed by a great band.
