In the April 8th blog entry we “outed” ourselves as being suckers for songs with choirs. That choir-based entry can be accessed by CLICKING HERE. Well, removing ourselves further from that closet, we admit a particular weakness for songs with non-adult choirs.
It follows that we enjoy the song “Oh Sailor” by Mr Little Jeans. The background vocals are provided by the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale, a non-auditioned group of singers within the range of 8 to 16 years old. If you went to Coachella, this is the same source of the Nick Cave’s youth singers
Mr Little Jeans is Monica Birkenes, a Norwegian singer who is now living in Los Angeles. When asked about the source of the name “Mr Little Jeans,” she answered, “I stole it from the janitor (Kumar Pallana) in Wes Anderson’s movie Rushmore.”
