Would you trust your friends to muck about with your creation? Stars did, and the results will be available to the public shortly when they release Would You Trust Your Friends? --a track-by-track reworking of their 2005 album Set Yourself On Fire . Faithful and consistent readers will know that I've already posted some tracks from this before (ahem) and that I hold Stars in the highest regard. Having said that, some of the reworkings are hit and miss and in the coming weeks I'll talk more about them. For now, enjoy [...]
The Honedrips & myspace I wrote about Mr Pedro once and made it look like "My apologies" was his song, it turns out that we should also give a credit to Mikael Carlsson who is the man behind The Honeydrips. And as we're clearing that out I'd like to point out other great songs. The melody of "Åh, Karolin" might sound familiar . If you like what you hear [...]

Mikael Carlsson is The Honeydrips The Honeydrips is a one man band composed of one Mikael Carlsson, of the now dead band, Dorotea. He makes great pop songs, sometimes with a little bit of an electronic tinge, and sometimes not. He's released a few CD-Rs and one 7" back in 2005, but this year he'll finally be releasing his first full length, Here Comes the Future on March 28. This song comes from the freshly released (Lack of) love will tear us apart single, that you [...]
The Honeydrips er et énmandsband fra Göteborg, Sverige. Det er sødt, naivt og catchy - endnu et glimrende eksempel på, hvordan generelt kun svenskere forstår at skrive perfekte popsange. Bag det hele står Mikael, som via sin musik leder mine tanker hen på sort/hvide kærlighedsfilm (tjek forsiden på hans site ) og lune sommeraftener. The Honeydrips har kun udgivet kun udgivet to singler, senest '(Lack of) Love Will Tear Us Apart' som udkom d. 28 februar. Det var faktisk The Embassy 's "remix" af '(Lack of) Love Will Tear Us Apart', som jeg fandt på Risky Bizniz [...]

Returning to work on Monday after taking an extended 4-day weekend means it's time to play catch-up once again. To help with the transition, I'm letting Simon Tagestam handle today's mp3 post: The Honeydrips' song production has been, to put it mildly, sporadic. Their one and only band member Mikael Carlsson is also part of Dorotea, who have at least released an album, along with some EPs. So far The Honeydrips have sung entirely in English, but this song (that can be found on their website) is in their native language (Swedish, that is). The Honeydrips have done some [...]
