Well, I certainly needed cheering up, having been off sick with some manifestation of a cold. So news of a brand new Fountains Of Wayne album in a couple of months is a tonic and a half.
Exponents of the some of the finest power-pop on the planet, the new record will hopefully see them build on the success of 2003's Welcome Interstate Managers, which even snared them a big UK hit in Stacy's Mom.
For now though, take a listen to this - an absolutely wonderful acoustic version of early album track Everything's Ruined. The original is taken from the rather excellent self-titled debut album, which you should probably buy from amazon.co.uk
