San Fran rock and roll animal Matt Nathanson is someone who I have never written about on SVB before, which is kind of wierd considering how much I like his music. I know that Heather is a fan, and so is Eric . Matt's new album Some Mad Hope is filled with one fucking great hit song after another. He's out-Frayed the Fray. And sure, I'll probably catch the same amount of crap for digging Matt as [...]

As you may or may not know, I occasionally have a sweet tooth for a singer-songwriter type. Such is true of Matt Nathanson , a young man who in the past few years has quietly released a number of records and toured the land. I've never heard of him, of course, until about a month ago, when I somehow stumbled upon him via a method I can't really recall. It was his song "Car Crash" that won me over; it has an upbeat tempo, a rich melody, and an overall vibe that reminds me of [...]
Much like the previous mix ( Album Enders From The Ladies Of '07 ), this is a mix of songs that are the last cut on albums released in 2007 by men or bands of men. Of course, you could probably ascertain that from the title. Just call me The Duke of Redundancy. These are mellow songs, perfect for ending your day with. Get it? Album enders for ending your day (falling asleep). 1. Explosions In The Sky ~ So Long, Lonesome 2. Magnet ~ Lucid [...]

Whenever I hear me some Matty Natty, I think of when I worked as a coffee-jerk at Borders. Something about his music conjures up images of frothy milk and espresso shots with a half inch of creama. His latest album is 12 tasty songs that will go perfectly with your morning joe, your afternoon pick me up or the post-dinner pre-dessert capp. He is out on tour with another Late Great fav: Cary Brothers and tomorrow's guilty pleasure. Go see him live just for the witty between song banter. Listen: [...]
So, I slack to say the least. I was going to put out an old Matt Nathanson show a while back (around the day of this show) that I just hadn't worked on for a long while. Then I went to a Borders intstore performance for Matt's new CD Some Mad Hope , and won tickets to a special CD release party show at the Great American Music Hall from KFOG. I don't listen to the radio, and I wasn't previously signed up for KFOG's stuff, so I had no idea the show even existed, [...]
Der Regen prasselt gegen die Scheibe, das Thermometer läutet den Herbst ein und jeder der kann, bleibt zu Hause im Bett und zieht die Decke hoch. Heute ist Akustiktag. Matt Nathanson hat seit 1993 bereits neun Alben veröffentlicht. Komplett an mir vorbei bisher. Das neuste, Some Mad Hope , beinhaltet u.a. den Song Detroit Waves , welchen es bei spin.com in einer exklusiven, schon recht emotional zu nennenden Akustikversion gibt. Matt Nathanson - [...]
I was introduced to Matt Nathanson's music through his 2003 album Beneath These Fireworks , and quickly became a fan of his blend of pop/rock and acoustic songs. His new album, Some Mad Hope , is his first studio album since Beneath The Fireworks , and the four year wait for new songs has been worth it. The theme of Some Mad Hope is about the good and bad moments in relationships. Matt describes it best: "I definitely think of the album as capturing the arc of [...]
I was unfamiliar with Matt Nathanson until recently when Heather from Fuel Friends posted some of his stuff. I've been enthralled since. Nathanson's second major label album Some Mad Hope finds the San Fransisco based singer-songwriter making some of the catchiest and most radio-ready pop rock that I've heard in awhile. Nathanson's acoustic guitar and his ever-so-slightly raspy vocals are the foundation of the music upon which he weaves tales of love, loss, and longing. Lyrically, Some Mad Hope seems reflective. Like someone who has [...]
Here's a little preview from Matt Nathanson's upcoming album Some Mad Hope, which will be released by Vanguard Records in August. Matt Nathanson - Gone (mp3) Matt on MySpace **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
New or not to Matt Nathanson , you have got to hear his new album. I own everything he has ever done. His music is just so sweet. It hits me hard (in a good way) every time I hear it; no matter the song. So his new album Some Mad Hope will release on August 14th. And of course you need to buy it, you can pre-order it here . All pre-orders come with an autographed booklet, a sticker and a bonus EP featuring in-studio, solo acoustic [...]
Why has Matt Nathanson never been hyped like other artists? He's been around for a good ten years so maybe I just missed all the fuss, but I feel like we should pretend he is new just so people start talking again! When I have iTunes on at work and it's shuffling through the massive collection there is never a time when one of his songs comes on and I don't immediately stop and think to myself how great that song sounds. It doesn't matter which song. Right away I know it is Matt Nathanson and right away [...]
I realized just now that I have not yet made a decision for that Romeo & Juliet soundtrack contest (because I hate picking just one winner and not everyone else, so I put it off to see if one picks itself. Yes, I am a procrastinator, and it worked for me all through college). So I finally sat down and re-read through all of your fantastic entries (topic: favorite Shakespearean adaptations) and now have to add several of these movies mentioned into my list of ones to see. As for a winner, I have to pick [...]
I'm still hobbled from dancing, and this song is partially responsible for the dull ache in the back of my legs. It's really hard to do the 360-degree hoppy dance in high heels. And Tim Booth should know. He messes 'round with gender roles.
