The Popdose Interview: Matthew Sweet

Hey, kids: remember last month, when we put out a “Calling All Questions” for Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs?

Well, here’s the thing: we thought we were going to get an interview with both of them on the line at the same time, but due to conflicts in their respective schedules, we ended up talking to them separately. Since we still got to talk to both of them, though, we’re still putting a mark in the “win” column…and you should, too, since it meant that we were also still able to ask them your questions. Now, at first, we were going to take the two interviews and combine them into one big piece, but in the end, it became evident that it would be a pretty disjointed conglomeration. As such, we’ll be presenting them independently…one this Tuesday, one next Tuesday…and since we talked to Mr. Sweet first, it seemed only fair to allow him to maintain his status and dive headlong into the fray.

Popdose: Okay, Matthew, are you ready for this?

Matthew Sweet: I’m ready to go! Now, did I hear…is it actually fan questions?

It is all reader questions.

That’s awesome! (more…)
