Keen on the next track also. Love the beginning chorus. Despite some of the more derivative lyrics, Sweet gets in enough gems of songwriting and musicianship.

Blown Away first song on Matthew Sweet’s latest album “Catspaw” or “Caraway?” Shazam annoyingly does not identify album name.

Bummed to hear that Matthew had suffered a stroke. Serious enough to merit crowd funding effort to cover medical expenses. Last I saw he had raised $400,000.

I bought this album through MP3 download, for the price of around eleven dollars from Amazon. I hope that counts as participating given surely Sweet receives royalties on sales.

Converted to disc via Nero Express laser burn.

Symptoms of his decline were characterized as probably not playing guitar any longer.

Strokes are an odd occurence causing devastating brain injury. Jamie Fox had one, but remained elusive with media for over a year.

Not to be an inside-baseball jerk, but my guess is that Matthew may have ignored high blood-pressure. Living the rock-n-roll gig lifestyle. This is total speculation based on fan-boy particpation– and intense study of 100 PERCENT FUN era material and beyond.

Nice to see people are aiding in Sweet recovery.

This moment with Jen on drums, later used in the opening titles.

I had forgotten the backstory of the episode. In which the drums appear as a gift from Phoebe to Joey.

Later Phoebe realizes this kit, is blaringly annoying to anyone within listening range. Although props to Matt LeBlanc for seemingly aceing the classic reportoire of drum rolls or benefitting from fill-editing. I’m not sure how authentic the sound was.

He was getting a cool million per episode– motivation for learning some rudimenatry drumming mastery.

I have been making the joke that Bessie was like a reindeer, after Robin Quivers explained she was keen on the reindeer portion of the Holiday myth.

Just stay a little quicker. I’d appreciate it, of course sir. Okay. Gotta go having money in the wrong hand.

I really don’t feel like you’re gonna throw up, do you? No. Well, I do. So, let’s Ben. You, uh, Nina. What holiday is coming up? Don’t you Christmas? Yep. And you know what other holidays coming up? Christmas Eve. Yes, but also

So you’re part Jewish and and Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday. Santa has rain, there’s like a fly. Is a celebration of a miracle. See years and years ago, there were these people called the Maccabees. Oh, we A dreidel. Dreidel dreidel, I made you end of clay. And those reindeer, okay, it’s not a contest.

Well, how about this year? Instead of Santa? We have finally celebrating Honda No, Santa Was that bad? No. Oh no. No. Hey you look bad. You’ve been very good man.
