I've had some wonderful guests in the past, but this one is
particularly near and dear to me for reasons which I cover in this
episode. Power pop legend Matthew Sweet talks with me about a number of things
including what it's like to hang out with Brian Wilson, the early
days of MTV and record labels, what's in store for the future, and
more! There's certainly a lot of talk about in regards to his
many records but I did steer the conversation towards Girlfriend,
Altered Beast and In Reverse mostly.
Even if you've never heard of Matthew, you should become familiar
with his incredible songwriting since it's had a huge influence on
my own music. There is no outro, since I wanted one of my favorite
ballads of his to play in its entirety, and have the episode end on
that "note." This was a true honor, and I couldn't be more
happier with this conversation. There will be more to come in
the future!
Songs featured:
"Girlfriend" from the album Girlfriend
"Where You Get Love" from the album Blue Sky On Mars
"I Almost Forgot" from the album 100% Fun
