MPFREE: 11TH APRIL 2011

It's week 15 on the fifteenth of the month and today's free download for you is a song written by the man who wrote 'April, Come She Will' and 'Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover'. If he'd called it 'Fifteen Ways To Leave Your Lover' that would have been serendipitous indeed.

As it is we'll settle for the near miss especially as it's a faithful cover version of a Paul Simon song by a member of the group who wear their admiration for the man on their preppy, pastel coloured sleeves.

The group is Vampire Weekend, the band member is Ezra Koenig and the song is 'Papa Hobo', cut from Mr. Simon's eponymous 1972 solo debut LP following his parting of the ways with Art Garfunkel and we hope very much that your enjoy it.

It will appear on the soundtrack of the film 'Ceremony' starring Uma Thurman and will also feature the music of Pete Townsend, Van Dyke Parks and Ringo Starr. The movie score has been composed by Fruit Bats' Eric Johnson.
