What do you get when you mix a little Radiohead with some Wilco, toss it with some Smiths/Modest Mouse and a dash of Crowded House? No, I'm not talking about the wet dream I had last week, I'm talking about the newest super group to take the world (well, New Zealand, anyway) by storm. Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt, Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien, and famed Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr recently headed to the other side of the world to work with legendary-kiwi/Crowded House mastermind Neil Finn at his own Roundhead Studios in Auckland, New Zealand. The second coming of Finn's 7 Worlds Collide project (the first did not include members of Wilco, but did include Eddie Vedder) came about after successful sales of the recording from the first go-round in 2001. Thanks to modern day technology, though, we don't have to wait until they release the next set of recordings, because we get a nice little Radiohead-soaked preview from YouTube to satisfy our cravings.

Brilliant stuff! We can only hope that more videos surface over the next few weeks. We will be sure to post it if it does.
