Aw, yay! New love and semantic satisfaction!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a music rut lately, so I just stopped in to say thanks for reminding me I haven't listened to Matthew Sweet in a while.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who commented on Tuesday that I was in a somewhat similar situation, I've also been using the term "seeing someone", and it generally seems to get the point across. Or, at enough that people don't seem to ask "what does that mean?"
ReplyDelete(Of course, I have the added challenging of the long-distance thing, so sometimes "seeing" is more like "texting" or "talking on the phone".)
Nothing lasts, Jake.
ReplyDeleteIf you like Matthew Sweet and you don't already have the Sweet-Susanna Hoffs collaborations (Under the Covers, Vol 1. and Vol 2.), you need to rectify that.
ReplyDeleteCool, I'll check that out; thanks.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine in college used to say that Matthew Sweet was a good example of why people shouldn't sing harmony for themselves. I think that he meant that the lack of variation in the voices makes it sound too precious. I do like a lot of Matthew Sweet (especially the b-sides to Altered Beast, and especially especially "Ultrasuede"), but I also wish that he had had a regular band with singers that he could use to give some texture to his stuff. This isn't a knock on Sweet as a singer. What's better than when Keith adds harmony for the Stones?
