January 22Jan 22 Olivia sticks out like a bit of a sore thumb amongst those alternative artists but she has been proving her credentials with her live shows (and has made no secret of her love for bands like The Cure, even duetting with Robert Smith at Glasto) so fair play to them for including her on it!

January 22Jan 22 Presumably they're all original songs aside from the two covers specifically mentioned?

January 22Jan 22 There was another Help (A Day in the Life) from War Child in 2005-6ish which I really enjoyed, some great songs on there from some of the acts of the time - Bloc Party, Manics, Hard-Fi, and a couple of high profile covers I remember (Kaisers - Heard It Through The Grapevine). Would look forward to this, a lot of good acts on there.
