Just got wind of a cool project. Neil Finn is reprising his "7 World Collide" project from 2001, this time to make a charity album for Oxfam. They are recording this as we speak. It will feature all new material and the members of the group include:

Neil Finn and his son Liam Finn
Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, Pat Sansone, John Stirratt of Wilco
Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway of Radiohead
Johnny Marr formerly of The Smiths, now of Modest Mouse
Sebastien Steinberg of Soul Coughing
KT Tunstall
Don McGlashan and Bic Runga (notable New Zealand songwriters)

They are recording the album in only about 3 weeks, working in Neil Finn's own Roundhead Studios in Auckland. The studio has three rooms so they will be split up and churning out music non-stop, with members migrating between the rooms as it goes along. Everyone has brought some material to contribute, whether it be fully-formed songs or just riffs or lyrics.

I can't wait to hear it. With all that talent, chances are there will be some golden material, even if the album ends up kind of patchy like most "supergroup" projects do.

Neil Finn and Jeff Tweedy could make some wonderful vocal harmonies, I hope they do that on at least one song.

This reads very interesting! Probably wouldn't come out until a year or so from now, I gather?
