MP3: Sahara Hotnights - Oh Darling!
Despite their seemingly best effort at destroying their legacy, Sahara Hotnights' debut "C'mon let's pretend" still stands a fantastic album. Seriously, I cannot thing of another act with such a strong start whose career trajectory went totally downhill thereafter. For comparison, Weezer fell pretty damn far, but at least they released two fantastic albums first. Let's be honest: "Jennie bomb" is okay, but it is a picture-perfect sophomore slump. Anyhow, that's enough bad-mouthing. The band is still around and I'm holding onto the hope that they'll be able to turn it around with whatever they do next. Sahara Hotnights are one of the many bands I discovered during the heights of the Napster era, when every day meant being wowed by some new Swedish band. I was being turned on to so much good music at the time and spent a bundle importing CDs of all my favorites, SH ranking quite highly among them. Of course, I eventually started up this thing here and have been raking in the cash ever since (hah! yeah right!). Okay, back to the point: "C'mon let's pretend" is a great album, maybe even classic. Download "Oh darling!" and reminisce with me.
