Jon S Cooks up another SUPER WINNER, Matthew Sweet

(scott)-The "Cartoons" comp that Jon S submitted for yesterday is a longtime fave of mine, for reasons
I pointed out then, but let me repeat one: The "Scooby Doo" song could have been written to order for Matthew Sweet.....I've long been a fan of Sweet's 1000% pure pop-rock, and (like Jon S, semi-great minds thinking alike?) I've always considered "Girlfriend" to be a tremendous pop-rock classic of it's era, STILL sounds phenominal and timeless, FABULOUS album......(for whatever reason I always really liked the DIFFERENT "Girlfriend"/"Good Friend" tunes, both of which appear here.

Sweet is no one-trick pony though, Jon S has done an incredible job of compiling a highly credible stash of stuff from Sweet's fine career.....look below and see, but this is gold, certainly for fans of Matthew, but even if you are not familiar, and are a fan of achingly pure pop-rock (I don't go "power pop" on his stuff, it's, well, just the BEST in pop-rock. Tremendous submission, thanks Jon S! Also thanks for the "Under the Covers" sets with Susana Hoffs, I was unfamiliar but carpet bombed them today, just tremendous, really!

Glad you picked up on the Matthew Sweet song on the Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits as the post was a prelude to this. Girlfriend is one of my favorite albums, period. I've listened to it a million times and neverTIRE of it; in fact, it was listening to it yesterday that made me realize I didn't have some of his albums and that thought led me down the internet rabbit hole in search of... well, a lot of what's here.
