Children of the revolution - help the kids    

"One child dies every three minutes because of armed conflict. War Child believes children should never be affected by war. Full stop. Our campaigning seeks to address this gross injustice. Sanction action with us now."  So reads the offiicial WarChild website. 

It's with that that a whole host of todays biggest bands went into the studio about 24 hours ago, and recorded covers of classic tracks to be released in aid of this cause.

The album gets a physical release on Monday 26th September.  Tracks can be downloaded  from http://www.warchildmusic.com/ at a cost of 99p per track from approximately 2pm this afternoon.  All money will go towards helping children currently suffereing in war-torn countries around the world.

The album tracklist is yet to be confirmed but we think it''ll probably look like this:

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 - ‘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’
Manic Street Preachers - ‘Leviathan’
Maximo Park - ‘Waste Land’
Mylo - TBC
Radiohead - ‘I Want None of It’
Razorlight - ‘Kirby's House’
Tinariwen - TBC
The Zutons - ‘Hello Conscience’

Electioneering! Radiohead reveal new song

25,000 people, and Thom Yorke camped outside Westminster last Friday 15th in protest over unfair trading laws in poor countries.

According to NME.com, speaking to the crowd Thom said "It is important to remind (Tony) Blair and Gordon (Brown) of their promises really. They are talking the whole thing up and they are on the campaign trail and it (trade justice) is one of the many things we are hassling them about.”
