  1. I track music I listen to through Last.fm every day, and the 2025 report from the site captured a year where I made an effort to listen to a lot of new music but returned to favourites often.

    I listened to a lot of Softcult, Ian Penn, Matthew Sweet, The Dears, and Hiroyuki Sawano in 2025. Sawano’s Xenoblade Chronicles X soundtrack was playing as a constant. Ian Penn’s Seascapes was another brilliant folk album I return to again and again. Dream Kittu’s cover of “Uncontrollable” from the Xenoblade Chronicles X soundtrack was another aspect of that game bleeding out into my life.

  3. Here’s another amazing artifact from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: #MatthewSweet’s original lyrics for “I’ve Been Waiting” (on a Dirty Pair notebook no less!)

  4. MATTHEW SWEET
    Girlfriend
    2017 Europe MOV Reissue

    Yesterday was 100% Fun, today it’s Girlfriend.

    After some not good at all records, this is where Matthew finally found himself and broke through. Both Inside AND Earth are borderline unlistenable once you’ve heard everything from Girlfriend on.

    I remember first hearing the title track; which was also the first time seeing the gnarly video for it, which featured clips from the rad Japanimation movie Space Adventure Cobra.

    As full of great songs as this album is, and as much as I love it, it will always run second place to 100% Fun for me.
    However, it’s more like a 1a and 1b.

  5. MATTHEW SWEET
    100% Fun
    1995 U.S. pressing

    One of the greatest (and most underrated) #powerpop albums of all time.

    I know everybody and their mother loves Girlfriend, but this is MY Matthew Sweet album.
    “Sick Of Myself” is Top 10 #90s singles for me, maybe even Top 5. It may be my favorite lead off track on any album ever, and it sets the tone perfectly for everything that follows it.
    I saw Matthew at one of the WBCN River Raves around when this record came out. He was SO loud and SO awesome. As a second stage artist that year, he blew away half the bands that were on the main stage that day at Great Woods. We met him afterwards at an artist booth where he was meeting fans and signing stuff, and he was the most humble, sweet, down to Earth dude.

    I will never ever ever grow tired of 100% Fun.
    It is a perfect album.

    #MatthewSweet, get better! Every day that passes could indeed be our last, and I don't want it to be true...

  7. The Jayhawks release one of my favs on April 22. 1997. I was still smarting from the departure of Mark Olson but this one made everything feel OK. (“Stick In The Mud” still gives me goosebumps …)
    Matthew Sweet shows up to help with some backing vocals and Madison’s own Pauli Ryan does some percussion work.

    There’d be no Matthew Sweet without Big Star. But then again, Big Star never was as great as Matthew Sweet.

  10. After hearing the awful news about Matthew Sweet's stroke last week, I thought about the absolutely wonderful live acoustic performance he did on my KCRW radio show back in 1992, and wanted folks to have a chance to hear it. So here's a special edition of Safe at Home Radio. #music #MatthewSweet #LiveMusic (1/2) mixcloud.com/safeathome/safe-a
