Nicholas Fonseca watches ''Days of Our Lives'' religiously and thinks washing dishes by hand is the cheapest form of therapy on earth.

When did the Cardigans become the saddest band in the world? The latest from the Swedish quintet, which hasn't released a Stateside CD since 1998's electro-romp ''Gran Turismo,'' is morose (''And Then You Kissed Me'' is a tale of spousal abuse) and country-flecked. But Nina Persson's tender voice, coupled with the Cardigans' welcome desire to explore new musical territory, allows this once-fizzy group to pull off a sultry coup.
