Yeah we're a little behind. Anyway, in light of this trailer I saw last night, which brought me way way back...thought I'd supply you with some 902s alt-rock a la American Pie the original (remember when the music we listened to involved real instruments?). Harvey Danger - "Flagpole Sitta" The Toadies - "Possum Kingdom" Blink 182 - "Dumpweed" Green Day - "Brain Stew" [...]

Remember Matt Nathanson ? He had that really catchy "Come On Get Higher" song that was overplayed for a while. The album where that song originates, "Some Mad Hope," is quite a decent album that I really got into earlier this year and his new album "Modern Love" is quickly becoming a nice follow-up. So imagine my surprise when I discover that Matt Nathanson will be performing in Richmond. In Short Pump. On Friday at 4:30 in the afternoon. During the holidays. Seriously, whoever planned [...]

"Faster" by Matt Nathanson

Matt Nathanson , armed with a full band and arsenal of vulgarity, returned to the 9:30 Club for two sold-out nights on his All Night Noise tour. The San Francisco singer-songwriter took to the stage before 10 PM, kicking off nearly a two-hour performance with "Mercy," of off his 2011 release, Modern Love . Ditching his guitar for the album's title track, Nathanson busted out the moves of Patrick Monahan of Train, with whom he toured this summer. The night included many an F-bomb, the discussion of [...]

Matt Nathanson's seventh studio outing may be the closest a pop record comes to to perfection this year. Modern Love, the seventh studio release from Matt Nathanson, a Massachusetts-born singer-songwriter, may be the closest a pop album comes to perfection this year. Opening with the hook-laden "Faster", which owes a minor debt to George Michael's "Faith", the album is a wall-to-wall meditation and celebration of exactly what its title promises. Rarely, if ever, has love -- modern or otherwise -- sounded as much fun as it does in the tales that Nathanson weaves...

When OK Go lead singer and guitarist Damian Kulash got to meet Kermit the Frog a couple winters ago, you could have knocked him over with the proverbial boomerang fish. Kulash's face—more like his entire body, being, and soul—was awash with a giddiness usually reserved for sci-fi fan boys who bump into George Lucas in the home electronics section of Kmart. For Kulash's generation of 20 and thirtysomethings, Kermit, the banjo-pluckin' amphibian who began as a discarded turquoise coat with halved ping-pong balls for eyes and went on to make "green" chic decades before Al Gore learned PowerPoint, [...]

Giving you guys a little warning with this one, just in case it sells out, and cause I'm currently obsessed with the new single "Faster" off Matt Nathanson's latest album Modern Love . I've been a fan of Nathanson's ever since I saw him play a small little coffeehouse in college, before he was signed, and the way he got the entire coffeehouse of people who had never heard him before to sing along to Bon Jovi's "Living On A Prayer." So when he got signed and I started hearing him on the radio, I [...]
Matt Nathanson is one of the most important songwriters in America and he has just made his most important statement with his new album, Modern Love. Modern Love is a fascinating, exciting, and diverse collection of songs about relationships, sexuality, and intimacy in a rapidly changing culture. It may very well be the album of 2011. I want a real love to let me in/ I wanna zero out and be born again/ No more false starts and no dead ends...Mercy, mercy/ Both hands/I need less drowning, more land/ Mercy, mercy/ Understand/ Less drowning, more land - "Mercy", Modern [...]

SF's resident rock star Matt Nathanson has released his ninth studio album, Modern Love , a solid follow up to the critically-acclaimed Some Mad Hope . The title track is among the stand outs: his lyrics, voice and music ache with a longing for authenticity in the romantic connections we have today. He sings of a girl hardened by heartbreak: "I carried hope and heavy day dreams...this modern love is not enough. She said watch your back, I'm nobody's girlfriend." The entire album is a deep contemplation on attraction, sustaining connections and, naturally, losing [...]
