Something cheering. Today’s mp3 offering is ‘Library’<\/a>, a fantastic song by Cursor Miner<\/a>, released far too quietly in December 2003.<\/p>\n

It’s a bouncy, impossibly catchy and entirely sincere laptop-synthpop song with rough-boy vocals, all about how wonderful public libraries are. Possibly the only track regularly played at Kash Point that could also feature in a children’s educational programme. Dedicated to all the gorgeous librarians among my readership. As Mr Miner says, their kind are indeed ‘often sexy’. Though perhaps not in the case of Mr Philip Larkin.<\/p>\n

There’s also a terrific animated video<\/a> to go with the song, which I thoroughly urge you to watch. <\/p>\n

Cursor Miner plays in London tonight, at Club Hemisphere<\/a>. I shall attend before going onto Mr Price’s Stay Beautiful<\/a>.<\/p>\n

the library the library
\nit’s a place where books are free
\nthe library the library
\nit’s a lot better than watching tv<\/p>\n

there’s sections about almost everything
\nyou’ll always find something you’re interested in
\nplate techtonics or embroidery
\nmichael portillo or the banyan tree<\/p>\n
