Yessss, I am bringing you more Monday afternoon sing-a-longs, which of course means I am still gainfully unemployed (and yes is is getting upsetting now!).

So here are some tracks to make you forget my sorrows:

The Wrens: She Sends Kisses - I absolutely love this track. The slow build, the foreshadowing echoes and the emotional climax. It is a long journey (hence only four tracks this week) but it is well worth it.

Andrew Bird: Measuring Cups - Quiet and folksy. I don't know why but this track has always struck a chord with me. Maybe I am just a sucker for strings.

Neko Case: Hold On, Hold On -Another alumnus of The New Pornographers off on a little side trip. I haven't given "Fox Confessor Brings The Flood", Neko's new solo album, a good listen yet but I do like the vibe of this track.

Morrissey: The Youngest Was The Most Loved - It seems Mozza has had those kiddies from "Panic" chained up in his basement since the days of The Smiths. And he hasn't eaten them. Now he has scrubbed them up and put them back to work as his personal chorus. Now, instead of choiring "Hang the D.J." they sing along to "There is no such thing in life as normal". A worthy sentiment, indeed!

Now run along and play...

Remember you can order all these albums and more at Amazon UK.

UPDATE: Having problems with the FTP site so you may have to wait a while before you can sing along. Do some vocal warm-up exercises!

UPDATED UPDATE: All fixed. Hope you like. X
