Weekly Soundtrack


Matthew Sweet Edition:

1. "Falling" from Altered Beast...An overlooked tune buried on Side Two of an overlooked album. The critics didn't like this record because it was bitter and pissed-off-sounding, but that's exactly why I like it. This song perfectly encapsulates that helpless, hopeless feeling of losing something forever, and it has the added bonus of letting Richard Lloyd absolutely burn nonstop for five minutes.
2. "Ugly Truth Rock" from Altered Beast...The angriest tune from that record and, also, the most fun.
3. "You Don't Love Me" from Girlfriend...This has become the soundtrack for my failing marriage. For maximum misery, grab a drink and set on infinite repeat.
