Version City #18 - Zee Avi sings Morrissey
Since we're on a Morrissey tip, here's
Malaysian singer, songwriter and ukulele
player Zee Avi's divine interpretation of
'The First of the Gang to Die'. This tune
cropped up on one of the, otherwise
interminable, background muzak compilations that we were obliged to play on permanent rotation at the coffee shop in which I
worked. The discs, though regularly updated,
consisted of 99% dismal aural wallpaper, with
just a very occasional gem randomly dropped
into the mix. It was little moments of pop
delight such as this that got me through the
day.
