█░█ Tom Waits has inspired countless records. King █░█
█░█ Tut's influence, on the other hand, has generally █░█
█░█ been restricted to the Bangles. At least until █░█
█░█ now. "It's from a Tom Waits interview that I █░█
█░█ read, where he had a couple songs that were quite █░█
█░█ old on his new record that was coming out," Amy █░█
█░█ Millan says, explaining the title of her new █░█
█░█ album. "He said mummies were buried with honey █░█
█░█ because it never went bad. So when the █░█
█░█ archeologists pulled them up, there was all this █░█
█░█ honey that was still fine. So he said, that's kind █░█
█░█ of how I think of the songs. That they've been █░█
█░█ buried for a long time, but they're still sweet." █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Amy Millan is not, to our knowledge at least, an █░█
█░█ ancient Egyptian queen. Nor are her songs, so far █░█
█░█ as we know, edible. But on all other accounts the █░█
█░█ above bit of folklore is the story of the 12 █░█
█░█ songs that make up her solo debut, Honey From The █░█
█░█ Tombs. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Little reminders of your impossibly romantic █░█
█░█ early 20s - preserved, aged, then dug up and █░█
█░█ discovered to have lost none of their original █░█
█░█ sweetness. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Most were written before 2000 (before Millan █░█
█░█ joined a little band called Stars), then recorded █░█
█░█ over the last three years with the assistance of █░█
█░█ friends old and new (including producer Ian █░█
█░█ Blurton and the boys and girls of Crazy Strings █░█
█░█ and Broken Social Scene). And they owe as much to █░█
█░█ nights spent spinning alt. country tales in █░█
█░█ Lithuanian bingo halls to her current status as █░█
█░█ indie pop star (pun intended). █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ "I wanted to make a record that had a thru line █░█
█░█ between pop music and old, country music. And I █░█
█░█ was constantly in a battle with myself because I █░█
█░█ had these two different kinds of songs that I █░█
█░█ would write," Millan says over coffee in Toronto. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ "I finally had someone say to me, æIt doesn't █░█
█░█ matter. The thru line is your voice.' And it was █░█
█░█ just finding those years to have the confidence █░█
█░█ to not care what other people's opinions were and █░█
█░█ that I was going to make a record that I wanted █░█
█░█ to make." █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ That record, like 93% of all records worth a █░█
█░█ damn, is one that strives to find a thru line █░█
█░█ between past and present. Ultimately it comes █░█
█░█ back to our old friend timelessness. To the idea █░█
█░█ that whether it's 2006 or 2036, when our flying █░█
█░█ cars finally get here, we will still need songs █░█
█░█ about skinny boys, heartbreak, whiskey, youthful █░█
█░█ confusion and the North Dakota sun. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ "They're all about little deaths," Millan says. █░█
█░█ "Whether they're your friends or your old █░█
█░█ lovers... they're little photographs and little █░█
█░█ deaths. Like Losing You, that song, I'm sure when █░█
█░█ I'm 72 I'll still relate to it. Whenever you're █░█
█░█ with somebody and you fall in love with them, you █░█
█░█ think they're the one. That's why you do it. █░█
█░█ That's why you go head first." █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Lovers change, but love endures. King Tut's brand █░█
█░█ of rule may go out of style, but honey will █░█
█░█ forever remain a delicious snack. █░█
