I got to chat with Paul Doucette (Matchbox Twenty) in the bluhammock music office this afternoon about his new project The Break and Repair Method. Here lies our conversation, along with a few tracks off the album which won’t be available till Sept 16th.
Music:
You Won’t Be Able To Be Sad
This City (Is Bound To Do Us In)
Life Gets Beautful
Many thanks to Ralph Cutler and Christina Duren from Ariel Publicity for setting everything up for me!
In other news, I have decided to make MikeyPod a weekly music only podcast. In the next month or so I will be setting up another podcast feed for everything else. This last year or so in NYC has been such a learning time for me, and a struggle in so many ways, but at last I am feeling like I am where I want to be– loving the city and ready to get my activist self moving again. It always felt so awkward to try to cover both passions in one place: music and social justice. Many times the two intersect, of course, but it makes more sense to me to branch out in this way. Stay Tuned!
p.s. Don’t forget about Meat Free Radio for all of your vegan and vegetarian needs.

Great interview and this solo stuff is really great!

Great interview. Surprised at how much I enjoyed the track. Kinda funny when you said something like, “I don’t really follow Matchbox 20,” and he was totally cool with it. Can you say, “Day job?”

harmz: I am so in love with this album! I’m glad I got the opportunity to do this: the music snob in me may not have given it a chance otherwise. Will I ever grw out of that nonsense??
Heather: I used a sure sm 57 with the marantz, made all the difference in the world and wasn’t really any more difficult to deal with than using the internal mics. We need to hang again soon!
Shawno: “Day job” hehehehehe. I also really got that matchbox really do put out music they are sincere about. I’m almost 40 years old. it’s time to let go of the notion that commercial always = shitty. I mean, it does and everything but….I mean…um…..
