Food Songs of the Day: Lemon Drops
Saturday, 30 October 2010 by kinakoJam
Above, Lemon Candy (Chara's j-pop is no doubt an acquired taste). Below, an arguably more tasteful song, ostensibly about Lemon Yoghourt.
The author of the below song, Caribou aka Manitoba, played at Barcelona's Sonar festival earlier this year. He is a trained mathematician and looked a treat in salmon coloured socks. We took him & his band to dinner after the show, and his charming Silverlake-based flexitarian bass-player had no choice but to dig into an endless round of ham shavings and rare beef slivers. We wondered if the restaurant would serve blood ice cream for dessert. Barcelona might be my favourite place on earth.
