Since you're new to the musical love of my life, Matt Nathanson, I thought I would take this time to introduce you. I'm not sure of how to do that really, so I thought I would do it by way of his website. Please check him out. You won't be disappointed. Anyway, in my quest to find out more for you, I came across this little web entry from MN. I thought you of all people would find this incredibly fantastic:
over memorial day weekend, i was involved in an amazing
3 day retreat in new orleans with a handful of incredible artists,
including emily and amy (indigo girls). it was a workshop on
activism and the arts and it culminated in a concert to benefit
Sweet Home New Orleans. in the taxi on the way to the show,
i finally spilled the beans to them both about how influential
they had been to me and they asked if i wanted to "sing michael's
(stipe... of REM) part on 'kid fears?'"...
i know you can't tell from the video, but i was having an out of body
experience. seriously. to be able to harmonize with my heroes on a song
i sang at every open mic i ever played is surreal. i was stunned.
and euphoric. i'm actually still getting over the shock.
I know, right??? Okay, I tried to check out the video, but myspace stinks right now, so I'll try to hook it up later. In the meantime, check out this little acoustic performance of the song "Gone" off the new album./ps. i think this one my be my favorite. i'm melting already.

He really is good. I'm excited. And anyone who says the IGs are their heroes, well we're friends already.
I'm glad you're excited because I actually bought two tix last night. EEK! Ps. I <3 this guy! Not sure if I've mentioned that already. : )
