MP3: Mando Diao - Gold
I never thought I'd say it, but the new Mando Diao album "Never seen the light of day" is pretty damn good. I can't say if it's the influence of producer Björn Olsson or what, but whatever it is, it works. As to their status as legendary assholes, I can't say, though I'm willing to entertain the notion that they've grown up. Anyhow, "Gold" is the kind of song that's infuriatingly catchy - the taunting la-la-la refrain is obnoxious, but irresistible and the "Oh my god" lead-up to the chorus is even better. Despite my best intentions, I can't help myself. It's good, maybe even a little bit great. I admit it to be true.
