I just heard that Simon will be performing on Mark Ronson’s new album, which is due out in July. If it’s even half as gorgeous as Simon’s recent collaboration with Beautiful Small Machines, I think we’re in for a treat. Watch this space.

UPDATE: I’m hearing that Simon worked with Wiley on the track for Mark. Check out Wiley on his myspace.

Speaking of collaborations… here’s The Moody One hanging out at a pre-Oscar party the other night with Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani. John recently mentioned that he would love to work with Gwen. I’ll get my pom-poms out for that one.
