the matthew show: Home

So the people at our local NPR affiliate are exercising poor quality control again and have allowed certain honky ramblers back on their airwaves.

Thus it is that during Friday the 16th's Morning Edition, KERA 90.1 FM in Dallas will broadcast a new commentary of mine, chock full of the sort of complaining and pointlessness that you've come to expect from the matthew show. Those outside the DFW sprawl-o-plex can stream the station here:

I can't say for sure what time the piece will run, but if you miss it, I'll post an audio archive link when I get it.

Here's to irresponsible programming...

Many of you are aware that I've been having chronic throat and sinus problems for quite a while now. Despite all efforts for a peaceful resolution of the problem, however, it appears that we will now have to pull out the big guns.

The last week of May, I will be having sinus surgery and a simultaneous tonsillectomy, providing what I hope will be a knockout punch to my microscopic tormentors. I'm not entirely sure when my voice will be back up to speed after that, but barring complications, there will be a resumption of matthew show services in late June or early July.

The timing is fortuitous, since later this year I will be doing a lot of performing in support of my forthcoming second album. Better to get this crap taken care of now so you fine people don't have to listen to the new tunes accompanied by a chorus of mucous nodules.

In the couple of weeks before the operation, however, I will be doing three shows in Second Life to take my mind off the impending slice-n-dice. Check the calendar for dates and times, and come out to get a last listen, just in case my voice emerges from the tonsillectomy sounding like Bonnie Tyler.

More when I know it...

I'll be playing a special 2-hour show at the Relay-Palooza on Saturday the 10th. It's part of the Second Life Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society.

Come out, donate, hear some angsty tunes, and buy your virtual self a t-shirt.
