hear mat's favorite songs as performed by mat!
thanks to patented beaming technology,
you can download the entire album (10 songs) free(!) here.
As of currently: I'm recording a new longplay album for the summer of 2009 that will be called "Sannyasa Songs".
The whole record will most likely be up for free digital download, with some form of purchasable packaged artwork media type thing also available, related in some capacity to the new Less Than Three Records (so new it hardly even really exists yet).
You can download the first song, "Sannyasi", here.
There are also lots more songs up on my new facebook page. Let's be friends there, too. (I think it's better, sorry myspace.)

you know growing up in a very strange unbelieveable situation and as an adult trying everything and still figuring it out it really helps when i listen to this song you have here "we were" and i remember hearing it for the first time not in a real live place or anything but just you on a front porch and i was drinking beer and feeling guilty because its always hard to forget what the church told me and what my parents told me and what i thought god was telling me and all i have to say is thank you for writing songs and sharing them and although i write a lot about things that happen to me im very rarely brave enough to share anything unless im intoxicated or fucked up and im happy people like you exist to make the rest of the world feel like its all going to be okay. thank you for showing me that the dirt in the world makes me feel clean and fuck everyone thats not nice. but what would life be if love doesnt make you feel like you just threw up?
