Song of the Day: Lykke Li & Bon Iver – Dance Dance Dance
- smoke ’em if you got ’em
It’s hard not to love an international pop star with a hippie heart, so why even try? If you have not yet surrendered to the Swedish sensation, there’s really no use in holding out. Sometimes you have to pick sides in this world and if we’ve learned anything from the Swedish, it’s that being neutral is really just a generous way to say you’re a Nazi appeaser. So basically, it comes down to this: you are either on the side of all that is good and decent in the world (Lykke) or you have willingly exiled yourself into the dark void of utter hopelessness and despair (not Lykke).
The choice is yours. Your will is free (unless, of course, you turn your back to Lykke, in which case, your soul is a marionette controlled by Satan).
Lykke Li turns the world upside down like it’s her own personal snow globe. She’s a pop star, yet her music doesn’t make you feel like you just got a lobotomy. She’s beautiful, but not glamorous. She’s otherwordly, yet seemingly down to earth.
- “If you want to complain,
I’m not the complaint department
Here Lykke takes it to the streets of East LA with the boys from Bon Iver offering back-up. Lykke Li will be playing Seattle’s Showbox next week and while I will be pretending that I am merely there to chaperone my (non-existent) daughter, I am enthusiastically looking forward to her show.
