I don't know much about Matthew Sweet other than he is a much lauded, respected music industry player. I definately like his style. In fact I just got a CD called Under The Covers -- it's Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles) doing cover songs. I'm very much in line with their musical influences. It's a great album of them doing songs from the Beatles, Mamas & Papas, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Love, Beach Boys, The Who, The Velvet Underground, The Zombies etc...Alas no Fleetwood Mac. But it's a fantastic, albeit obscure album.
I met Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs at SXSW 2 years ago when they released Under the Covers - they had a showcase in a tiny club, it was packed, and wonderful!
