The aptly named Matthew Sweet has hit La Dolce spot on several re-memberable and re-lovable singles. Underrated most of his career, a song like “We’re the Same” was certainly crushed at time of release by whatever Pearl Jam elegy ruled the airwaves.

I am going to be as tan as I was back in high school in Summertime whether I like it or not. You can’t escape the sun. Jogging with your shirt on makes no sense. Miss 80’s, mid 70s humidity. The only thing I ate today are mangos and sweet cups, which are really passion …
