SONG OF THE DAY (#215)

'[lack of love] will tear us apart,' by the honeydrips f. hanna

i don't know if mikael carlsson is a bitter man, but according to his myspace page, his last show 'for awhile' was october 5th 'cos he's 'got better things to do.' um, no you don't. what better things can you possibly do other than churn excellent pop tunes? mikael, come back. you're too young to be a sad, miserable man. we love you...

i've been meaning to post this one for awhile, but with 'control' out in limited release now, and given the song's title, it seems now's as good a time as any to throw it out there [not that this song has anything to do with the joy division song other than the titular lyric]. that was a totally pointless paragraph. sorry about that. next.

so, mikael carlsson: obviously a swede. apparently 9/10 of all swedes are excellent musicians. maybe it's the d.n.a. i'm just sayin'. yeah. he used to be in a band called dorotea, then struck out on his own. i don't know how he stumbled on the name 'the honeydrips,' but i love it. it's a great band name. the album's called 'here comes the future' [although if he's already hung it up, i guess the future already came and went]. mikael, a lack of killer tunes will keep us apart. who needs love? we need tunes. your tunes. come back to us...please??
