Matthew Sweet turns 60
October 6, 2024
Happy 60th birthday to singer/songwriter Matthew Sweet! I love this song, “Sick of Myself,” from his 1995 album 100% Fun.
I’m sick of myself when I look at you

(The excellent lead guitar is by Richard Lloyd, from the great new wave band Television.)
“Lost My Mind” is a more psychedelic song from the same album:
His biggest hit is “Girlfriend,” a wonderful power-pop song from his 1991 album of the same name:
