Were you one of many people with the "Eanie Meany" earworm? With a repetitious chorus of "eeeeennnneeeee meeeeaaannniieee," maybe you were watching the 2006 World Cup where encountering Jim Noir's catchy soccer anthem "Eanie Meany" was next to impossible.

Now in 2008 and fresh off the road with Super Furry Animals, the sugar-sweet indie pop Jim Noir (nee Alan Roberts) is set to release his sophomore, self-titled effort is released on April 8th on Barsuk Records.

Songs performed: "Eanie Meanie," "Same Place Holiday," and "Computer Song."
