DiScuss: Are there any glaring omissions from bands on this list? Do you see any of the covers as sacrilege? Will you be purchasing any of the songs?

oh my gosh, I think I am delirious with excitement.

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Hooray! No Oasis!

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

not only content on ruining 'all i want for christmas is you' (they will), now they want to piss all over marvin's grave.
i hate you ricky wilson :(

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Ho is Tinariwen?

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I might actually have to buy a few of them {the go! team, radiohead, bloc party}. Unless they're fucking copyright protected WMAs, that is. In which case they can bite my shiny metal ass.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I think the ones from Warchild are.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

fuck that then, I'll donate a few quid to warchild and download them from somewhere once the cd is released.

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

you can rip the audio into a nice unprotected mp3 using some sort of stream ripper program (i like 'sound capture') it's a bit messy, but akin to recording protected cds through an phono output on your stereo... drm are easy to crack if you have the inclination.

Keane and Faultline together sounds... well, i don't think i'd like to speculate what it will sound like. hm.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

You sure you don't want Leviathan as well? I reckon it'll see the Manics switch into a fantasy-metal band, think about it:

Nicky - tall, can be an elf
JDB - normal-ish, can be a human
Sean - short, can be a dwarf

Give 'em some costumes, perfect..

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I'm not paying for it. :P

make it your new projectrockstar band.

"A significantly healthy choice of the UK's finest talent" - Why is Anthony & the Johnsons there then? Cue arguments...?

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

i think it's a bigger issue that he won the mercurys, not that he's contributing to a british-only charity compilation.
who gives a fuck?

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Isn't Damian Rice irish?

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Arseholes. Put a track on the 'warchild' album so people will think we care about the world.

I'm sick of Razorlight. I've gone off them amazingly.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Isn't that bit "damned if you do, damned if you don't"?

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

It will happen.

I'll probably buy Damien Rice, Radiohead and Bloc Party. And wasn't Antony BORN in Britain, therefore making him a British artist?

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Ho is Faultline?

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

i'll buy the go! team, bloc party, razorlight...
(and then possibly the cd...)

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

ooh i'll be getting bloc, belles, radiohead and probably antony methinks.

however. yes. keane. yellow brick road. now that is truly sacrilege.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I'll get some of the tracks off the CD because I like the artist, but I don't agree with the charity completely. You either love humans and the lives of all humans or you don't love anyone. I don't want to get into a debate about it but making one group of people's lives, in this case children's, more cherished than others is wrong in my opinion.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

I don't have a clue who Tinariwen are but why are they and Mylo covering the same song?

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Actually.. I'd say JDB could be an elf, and Sean could be a gnome.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Nah, Elves are taller than your average human. JDB a dwarf, and Sean a gnome?

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Children quite often get left alone in war/disaster zones, and are far more open to exploitation than adults are. Go read about child soldiers in Sierra Leone and tell me it isn't horrific what happens to a lot of children - brainwashing, physical abuse, forced drug abuse. Not nice.

Obviously, I'm not saying that they're more important; just that, in a lot of cases, less able to defend themselves.

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Kaiser Chiefs- I heard it through the Grapevine.

Somebody say it is not so. Please.

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Babyshambles have apparently been added to the lineup.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

Sort of bluesy band from Mali. They are quite good. Weird to see them on here though.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

They are definitely not from the UK

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

It appears to offer proper un-hobbled mp3s. Take an absolute age to download though.

Re: Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed

northern ireland. part of the UK.

Warchild benefit tracklisting revealed
