I have some weird ideas about where music comes from. Well, maybe they aren't so weird. But they feel weird in the context of authorship and ownership and stuff like that.

It's another episode of The Matt Kollock Show podcast!

This is a lean, mean episode, clocking in at fewer than 58 minutes, but it is packed with goodies, as always.

I wasn't sure if I was…

How was your week?

Mine was pretty eventful! I celebrated the twin high holidays of Bicycle Day and 4/20. I became the voice of the poor dog who lives next door and is neglected by her owners. The neighbors did…

Friends, I hope you have enjoyed the launch of The Matt Kollock Show as much as I have.

It's been exciting assembling the first four episodes and sharing them with you. The show has been a blast to do thus…

Guys! Welcome to the third episode of The Matt Kollock Show!

Three is one of the most magical numbers and Melissa Rios is one of the most magical musical people I know. In this episode, Melissa and I have…

Well, it's been quite a week, hasn't it?

Shit keeps getting realer and realer. In all the worst and best ways.

I am grateful for so many things right now. I hope you are, too.

This is the tenth one of these things! Holy Shit!

It's also Valentine's Day today, so happy Valentine's Day to you! I love you!

I don't have a lot of time…

I am working on my solo debut album. Well, to be precise, I am working on writing a blog post about working on my solo debut album. And here you are reading it! I think I'm writing this to prove…

What a week.

Annie and I both had big work-related stuff going on. The world continued its newly preferred state of near-constant agitation. We had a houseguest – who was lovely and amazing. But still, having even the most welcome…

I am not a Deadhead. But I am on my way. Actually, I feel like I must be in an enviable position. Here I am in the midst of my 44th trip around the sun and I am still becoming…

Hey guys. What's happenin'?

I continue to be sick, so this week's playlist is full of tunes within which are encoded magical healing vibes. Really? Yeah. On account of all songs have encoded within the magical healing vibes. Duh. I'm…

When I was three, my mom and dad drove me to a nearby farm to pick out a puppy. Or maybe the little German Shepherd fellow had already been selected for me. I don't know. I remember sitting on my…

It's back! And I think this might be my best one yet.

I put this playlist together over the past week or so. It's a pretty good sampling of what I've been feeding myself so far in…

Lately, numerous people have asked when and where I'll be performing again. There's nothing on the schedule, friends. Sorry. I can only sell myself and ask…

I wasn't going to do another one of these in 2019, but then I decided to do another one of these in 2019.

Friends, this is a special edition of Discover Weakly Wednesday because it highlights my most-played songs of…

More good stuff!

Today's edition is all about the stuff I dug the most in 2019. It's a long one, so I hope you're sitting down and you have used the restroom. Do you have a nice beverage? That would…

It's Wednesday! I hope you're out there having a great time humpin' around and stuff.

So that you may continue to hump around successfully, I have created a Spotify playlist, which you can find below. This is one is mostly…

I have good eyes. My vision is pretty great. I do not require glasses. I can read stuff, with accuracy, from impressive, if not improbable, distances. I notice things in the periphery. Stuff like that. And I'm grateful. After all…

Friends, we made it to Friday. I wasn't sure if we could, but here we are.

Since it's Friday, I have published another entry in my This Is the Good Stuff series. You are reading it right now!

Here's what…

Guys! Today I introduce a new feature in the Matt Kollock blog. It's called "Discover Weakly Wednesday" and I'm excited to present Volume One to you now.

The purpose of this feature is to share the music that's turning me…

I published my very first blog post here on December 11th, 2018. I was a wide-eyed, wet-behind-the-ears 42-year-old. Now we're nearing 2020 and I am a grizzled, world-weary 43-year-old. Damn, man.

You would think that by now I'd have come up with some go-to descriptors of my music. But you would be wrong. I am happy to tell people that I am a musician, songwriter and performer. But when they inevitably…

I remember a time about 25 years ago when I told a girlfriend's mom that I would be perfectly content and fulfilled if I spent my life playing blues guitar licks in midwestern bars. At the time, that was my…
