One Sweet Song: Fool's Gold//The Dive
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2011/08/fools-goldthe-dive.html
August 4, 2011. Fool's Gold/ The Dive. I am getting married in one month minus one day. At this moment, my life roughly breaks down into these percentages:. 30%: Doing Wedding Shit/Obsessing About Doing Wedding Shit/Not Sleeping While Thinking About Wedding. 3%: Obsessing in a Debilitating Way About Everything Else I Need to Get Done. Not that I'm losing it or anything. Not losing it. I am not losing it. This song has been on heavy rotation on KCRW. Is motion the only thing real? High quality and fully e...

One Sweet Song: Red Tail Ring//Woods That I Know
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2010/11/red-tail-ringwoods-that-i-know.html
November 5, 2010. Red Tail Ring/ Woods That I Know. Northern Music for a SoCal Friday: Local Music Friday. What's up with Local Music Fridays? It's been a while since I was able to deliver a proper Local Music Friday. And I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. It seems a little wrong to be posting this from where I'm sitting in this Orange County 90 degree heat, since this music is so, well, northern. It's right for tbe cold-weather, perfect for cozying up in a cabin in the woods. I'll take my hand,.

One Sweet Song: The War on Drugs//Best Night
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2011/11/war-on-drugsbest-night.html
November 1, 2011. The War on Drugs/ Best Night. An album I've been really loving lately is the new one by The War on Drugs. Although it sounds more like a Kurt Vile. Album than any previous release from the band (despite the absence of actual Kurt Vile from the band). I've still found a different, amorous spot in my heart for it. Half Dylan, half Springsteen: the vocal sound and lyrical themes are familiar, set against music that's more modern. There are a lot of standout tracks on Slave Ambient. High qu...

One Sweet Song: The Strokes//New York City Cops
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2011/09/strokesnew-york-city-cops.html
September 29, 2011. The Strokes/ New York City Cops. Yo, OSSers. How's it? I've been feeling pretty conflicted lately. On one hand, in the words of the great Jackson Browne. All good things gotta come to an end." On the other, in the words of my constantly approximating generation, "All good things kind of like might have to come to an end, sorta.". The argument with myself. Has been mostly going like this:. Me: You should stop writing OSS. You haven't even posted for over a month. Me: No, you shut up!

One Sweet Song: Michael Jackson//Billie Jean
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-jacksonbillie-jean.html
June 26, 2009. Michael Jackson/ Billie Jean. To friends in Chicago a few days ago: “The new Jenny Wilson record sounds a little like Michael Jackson.”. At lunch at work, yesterday: “Michael Jackson is addicted to plastic surgery. There’s a site that details ever surgery he’s ever had and it’s so scary.” (Perhaps in poor taste, but here. If you’re curious). Or how about the many strange MJ facts I learned from this man. Sean strangely posted this. Up about a week ago, talk about prophetic. One Sweet Song ...

One Sweet Song: Animal Collective//Brothersport
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2009/01/animal-collectivebrothersport.html
January 29, 2009. I’m not one of those people who thinks that everything Animal Collective does is amazing. Not that I have anything against such people. Some of those people are some of my best friends. Am I starting to sound like someone whose “best friend is totally a minority! I don’t mean it like that, I’m just trying to provide some context in light of the entire internet going gaga over Merriweather Post Pavilion. I think the album is very good. I thought Strawberry Jam. Open up your,. So, hi, i'm...

One Sweet Song: Zoo Kid//Out Getting Ribs
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2011/10/zoo-kidout-getting-ribs.html
October 5, 2011. Zoo Kid/ Out Getting Ribs. Have you heard of Brit School. The Croydon arts and tech. high school that's churning out many of today's most talented musicians? I stumbled upon it last night, after a pal. Posted the following song on FB. I have decided to go back in time and redo high school there. Is that something we can make happen? Already having gone through two band names (he now performs as Kid Krule), Archy Marshall aka Zoo Kid was born in, get this, 1994! Out Getting Ribs.mp3.

One Sweet Song: Midlake//Roscoe
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2011/06/midlakeroscoe.html
June 23, 2011. Wow Between now and last we spoke, I rode some roller coasters and turned 28. Well, that wasn’t all…but those are the highlights. I’ve also become something of a road warrior, making the 45-mile-per-way quest from Costa Mesa to Los Angeles each day for work. Intense commute times are particularly fertile ground for album obsession and that is exactly what has happened here. Jethro Tull, Jackson Browne. The spice of life? The village used to be all one really needs. One Sweet Song is a musi...

One Sweet Song: Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers//Roadrunner
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2010/08/jonathan-richman-and-modern.html
August 17, 2010. Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers/ Roadrunner. Well, hi. Hello! It’s been a while. I hope you had a good time with E. Isn't he a great host? In the meantime, we’ve got some catching up to do. What I Did On My Summer Vacation:. To me, the best part of a solo summer roadtrip is complete control over the music selection. There’s nothing better than singing along at the top of your lungs, completely out of tune, with whatever you’ve decided to play. I’m in love with the radio on. Going ...

One Sweet Song: Travis//Slide Show
http://onesweetsong.blogspot.com/2012/01/travisslide-show.html
January 5, 2012. Lately, I've been waking up with this song in my head a lot. It's weird, because I haven't listened to this album since I was about 16 years old. And yet, there it is, each morning, almost perfectly formed in my memory. Even the words of the chorus, impeccably preserved as if in some kind of ancient teenage amber. Maybe it's because the 90s (particularly the early 90s) are back in full force, and I'm not just talking about tiny floral print, vests, jean jackets, big floppy hats. Aptly, t...
