What, no Matthew Sweet note ? His album "Girlfriend" is doing brisk
business Down-under (Australia), with several tracks getting good
airplay.
I have been impressed with the raw, rock and roll feel (MS describes
his guitar playing as "organic" - I like it !) of all the songs I've
heard. Plus his voice has just the right note of urgency.
I have read that this album was nearly not released due to contractual
hassles, and MS nearly gave it away. Also, there is a song on the album
called "Winona" about one guys obsession with Winona Ryder, and the
impossible to fulfil love he had for her.
If you're into fresh, raw rock and roll I suggest you check it out.
Regards,
Jeff.

Two of the songs from "Girlfriend" are getting airplay here in
the Baltimore-Washington area, the title cut and one other whose
name escapes me at the moment. I haven't heard the rest of the
album, but the two songs I have heard seem very retro-sounding to
me, especially the guitar work. Kind of makes you feel like you're
back in the seventies.

Aside from his solo work, Matthew Sweet can be found on a couple of
Golden Palominos records as guest, and was previously a member of a
band called Oh-OK. (Or something like that. I think the band was from
Athens GA. I'll check Trouser Press tonight.)

Love the intro to Girlfriend. Takes me totally by surprise. Sounds
Hendrix-ie to me.
