One Summer

Song: One Summer

Artist: Daryl Braithwaite

Album: The Edge

Year: 1988

I heard this song on one of my Kevin Smith nerdcasts that I listen to and the three seconds of the chorus that I heard of this over the span of two or three days forced me into finding out what this was.

So, this song is probably the cheesiest, catchiest, most vapid, devoid of real emotion piece of pop garbage that you are ever going to hear. The video is even worse. Don't hold me responsible for the video. I'm sure Surma will hate this and I'm guessing Steve isn't going to like this either. But, I think there is a place for this song in the B.J., Tercala and Gould universes (Radon you will like this, but won't admit to it.).

This song is here for one purpose and that is the chorus. The intro, the verse, all you are doing is waiting for the chorus to kick in. I imagine in a month I'm going to hate the hell out of this song, but for now it's such a great feeling.

Since was stupid enough to say he never got into Doves..




This is one of the best songs off of the album The Last Broadcast. The song before this on the album is really good, but is an even better lead into this song and when the drums kick in on this it makes you happy and want to start jumping and shouting.

It was hard for me to pick a song to put on here by them, but I couldn't find a good video for "Words" which is probably my favorite off the album.
