The Morning Benders Cover The Cardigans' "Lovefool"
When The Cardigans released First Band on the Moon in '96 it was a semi-worthy follow-up to their amazing and insanely underrated album Life. The one song that stood out like a dwarf in a basketball game was the hipster-chic track (for the time) ...
