sometimes
you just have to do what doesn't make a damn bit of sense. it makes
you feel better about being human. it made ME feel better anyway.
that being said, let me tell you a bit about this number 99 thing. you
take one singer/songwriter, give him a computer and a bunch of musical
gadgets and goodies and A LOT of inspiration and you have it. i'm not
really sure what it sounds like, but i'll try for the sake of this bio:
imagine Elliott Smith, Michael Penn and Jeff Tweedy sitting around writing
songs all day. Jeff Buckley comes in every now and again with
Kurt Vonnegut and Bob Dylan in tow for lyrical suggestions. Wilco, Radiohead
and Pink Floyd also stop by to offer their help with arrangements and
spatterings of color (or colour, if you prefer). add
a little of this and a little of that, and you got it: number 99. judge
for yourself. i could be totally off base here. oh yeah, my name's Matthew.
