Marijuana Sweet Tooth: “You Never Think Of Me”

By: Jack Anderson

Let’s get straight to the point. You know what day it is. And thoughts on reform policy aside, you simply can’t ignore the relevance of a group called Marijuana Sweet Tooth on today’s “holiday”. Marijuana Sweet Tooth first sparked up in the summer of 2017 with their debut EP Playing Cards, passing around hybrid strains of country, shoegaze, ambient, and lo-fi alt-rock. Fronted by guitarist-vocalist Mateo Mares and singer Lizzie Buckley, MST’s signature “low, slow & hazy” sound and almost snow globe level of roundedness is a remedy ripe for the isolation blues.

Today Marijuana Sweet Tooth released Something Has To Change But It Can’t Be Me, the group’s gorgeously produced debut full-length. Something Has To Change But It Can’t Be Me is available on Bandcamp for whatever price feels right for you just for 4/20, and even if you space on the date, you can the second of ten new tunes from Marijuana Sweet Tooth, “You Never Think Of Me”!

Freedy Johnston: “The Power of Love”

Connoisseurs of Americana (or “Americonnoisseurs” as I like to call them) can probably recognize the music of Freedy Johnston within a few notes. Back in the early ’90s Johnston became somewhat of a legend thanks to an unfettered dedication to his craft and a consistent, high quality output of tunes. As a matter of fact, […]

Wes Denzel: “Zodiac Killer”

Astrology. It’s a one-of-a-kind litmus test in casual conversation; either people will scoff at you for believing that gobbledegook or chastise you for not knowing your ascendant. But if there’s one demographic who seems to get a unanimous pass, it’s lyricists. From Deep Purple’s “Maybe I’m a Leo” to Des’ree’s “What’s Your Sign?” and Nirvana’s […]

The Beaches: “Orpheus”

Like the Jan Brady of national holidays, Labor Day is an oft-overlooked middle child between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. So, quick bit of “birthday” trivia; although it’s American-manufactured, some historians believe Labor Day may have been inspired by Toronto’s worker-centric parades held in 1882. Which means we ought to recognize our neighbors to […]

Killer Kaya: “Seasons of Unrest”

When California comes to mind, it’s easy to imagine three hundred and sixty sunny days a year. But between earthquakes, floods, mudslides, wildfires, and other natural disasters (we’ll even throw in this global pandemic for posterity)…it’s not just a coastal breeze over there. Whatever the weather, Cali can always rely on some really cool cross-cultural […]

Dan Warner & The Night Parrots: “Every Moon is Blue”

Between Methyl Ethyl, Jen Cloher, Tame Impala, G Flip, Courtney Barnett, and The Avalanches…KUTX plays so much ‘down under’ music that we could probably get away with rebranding ourselves “The Aussie Music Experience”. But that’s not just a bad pun; there’s plenty of truth behind the cross-continental exchange between America and Australia. See, Austin does have a sister city […]
