I'm Obsessed With This Song (For the Time Being)
Posted by Dave Segal

"Wintertime in Hollywood" by the Lovetones is not the type of song that normally
takes
hostage of my internal jukebox in 2007, but it's been doing just that for the
last two days. Its
full, chiming guitars, swooping bass line, mellifluous white soul vocals and
profound tone of
bittersweet wistfulness move me to my almost-hollow core. That and it reminds me
a lot of
George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" crossed with Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come
Easy," which is a
fantastic thing to be reminded of—even in 2007.

You can find "Wintertime in Hollywood" on the Lovetones' sporadically brilliant
psych-rock
album, Axiom (Tee Pee Records; out June 19) or go to the Australian band's
MySpace page for
immediate gratification. I'm also pleased to report that they will be playing
The Prospector in
Long Beach on June 16.
