(August 2015) I have completed episode 58 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to an artist’s full discography from beginning to end. This episode: MATTHEW SWEET.
Favorite album: Girlfriend
Favorite song: Evangeline
Don’t bother: his first two albums from the 1980s
Better than expected: Sunshine Lies
Interesting: Under the Covers vol 1, with Susanna Hoffs. While the covers are unremarkable, the songs (all from the 1960s) are many of my special favorites
Compared to expectations: same
