Slow down, there's gonna be trouble...



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.

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
