single of the week

Before announcing this week's Single of The Week...I have to recommend the film 'Burn After Reading' which is the second best movie I have seen this year. Extremely funny but also very clever and ultimately, strangely heartwarming. Go see it....go on...

Single of the week goes to Denison Witmer's 'Beautiful Boys and Girls', a song which I intitially found disappointing. Denison's last two albums proper, 'Philadelphia Songs' and 'Are You A Dreamer' were both lovely, delicate collections of songs and in the case of the latter, a record to remind you to look for the good things in life and ignore worries. This single, the first from Denison's new LP 'Carry The Weight' (out Nov 10), is a little different. On first few listens it may sound a little repetitive and laboured but once you get used to it, it becomes a hazy, warm Autumnal song...all Jackson Browne vocals and laidback guitar. Its out now on digital release only and can be heard on Denison's Myspace.
