Mates of State

Mates of State turned out to be the soundtrack for the writing of my novella. I eventually added some Zero 7 and Sade, but Mates of State was at the heart of it. It got to the point that when I heard their song, Now, it would put me right into the world I was writing about. That's a powerful thing when you have to produce words. I can't find a decent video for Now, so here's what might be my second favorite song from Mates of State, My Only Offer. Maybe you'll dig it.

Listening to now on Spotify. Liking it.

Damn you, you hyphenated-name bastard...this will lead to yet another music purchase. When will this madness end? When?

Also; Where's my mango!

Your Mango is only minutes away!

I'm guessing you're yelling at my blog, as its name contains a hyphen and mine does not. You can yell at it until it cries, then you should stop.

Who are you and what have you done with my favorite podcaster?
You can't be Mattheq Sanborn Smith, he doesn't blog 3 times in less than 3 days.
I am suspicious of you sir.
Even though I am enjoying these entries...

Matthew Sanborn Smith said...

Yes! I've gone blog-crazy!

Also, I made sweet, sweet love to your favorite podcaster.

Hang on, what's your first favorite Mates of State song? This was my favorite, but maybe you'll tempt me with another.

My first favorite is "Now." I realize that I didn't make that completely clear.
