Song in My Head

Yes, another song.  I have been shuffling the ol' ipod a lot lately.  Today's song comes form one of the forgotten about artists of the 90's, Matthew Sweet.  Sweet is best known for the hit "Girlfriend," and more obscurely, for being the guitarist in Austin Powers' band, Ming Tea.  I personally feel his 1995 release 100% Fun (taken from a line in Kurt Cobain's suicide note) is a more complete record.  The record is proably best known for the song "Sick of Myself", but I'm more partial to the follow-up, "We're the Same."  It's just great power pop.  Great chorus, nice guitar fills, and simple message.  A great, forgotten artist.

Matthew Sweet - "We're the Same."
