In the early 90's after a few albums and a lot of hard work Matthew Sweet broke into the mainstream with the hit song and record, Girlfriend. Since then he's been able to flit from project to project gaining talented new friends and collaborators. Now he's teamed up with The Bangles vocalist Susanna Hoffs for the album Under the Covers, Vol. 1. The new release has Sweet and Hoffs covering their favorite 60's pop hits.

Man, I wasn't able to make even before the first paragraph of the interview before hoping on that link and buying the album! I've been a veracious Matthew Sweet for ages and hearing any opportunity to listen to him work with others, let alone w/ Susanna Hoffs is pure pop joy! biggrin

Normally once an interview is posted I'll wait a bit to read it, but I did an absolute double-take and pounced on this one. I've also been a long-time Sweet fan, and I only recently heard he had this new disc coming out with Hoffs, so I was glad to get some info on it.

I recently got his album Girlfriend and I imagine I'll be getting the rest of his discography pretty soon. Nobody writes songs like his anymore.

Girlfriend is probably my favorite album ever. I think every song on it was my favorite song at one point or another, and I still count 3 or 4 tracks from it among my all-time faves. His next several albums had some really good stuff on them too.

I'll need to pick up his new stuff. I haven't really checked out any of his work in a few years.
