I am so exhausted right now. But I gotta write about this stuff. It's significant.

The first third of this month has been a real trip. All of a sudden, I find myself more motivated. More confident. Less prone to…

It's episode 25 of The Matt Kollock Show! 

A milestone episode, for sure. It took three years to get here. So, like, eight eps a year. Not bad! Not…

I think the first time I entered any kind of music-related contest was when I was about 14 years old. My little guitar buddies and I heard about a guitar shred-off competition happening on the campus of the University of…

Sometimes people ask me, “What does a music producer do?” I've noticed a fairly wide gulf between what people think a record producer does (and is responsible for) and what a producer actually does. So I decided to write about…

The Matt Kollock Show is back!

Listen to it right here. Or you can find it easily wherever you get your podcasts. Apple. Spotify. Wherever. It's everywhere! 

It's been nearly two years. Two years that felt like 20 years in…

Gosh, it's been quite a busy year so far.

Busy with good things, mostly. Looks like this might shape up to be one of the really good years. I hope it's the same for you.

Anyway, one of the things…

My hand hurts. My right hand. The one I use to pick and strum and stuff like that. It hurts because I've been doing my "Morning Pages" every day since 2023 began.

Happy New Year, by the way! How…

I had fun putting together yesterday's list of albums. So I decided to make another list today. This time about television programs I enjoyed in 2022.

My TV Life

TV used to be so important to me. Not that…

I'm excited to write about some of my favorite music of 2022! It's been an exhilarating year of listening for me. Lots of new stuff. Lots of inspiration. Lots of cool grooves. I've been seeing the lists starting to pop…

We like to go to Trader Joe's for most things. Easy and relatively inexpensive. Relatively. Stuff is so goddamn expensive these days. Not as bad here as it is in other places, but still. Anyway, the Uptown TJ's parking…

No, not the band. I'm writing about the decentralized social media network that's become a somewhat well-publicized alternative to Twitter. That Mastodon.

The band is fine. I think I like the idea of their music more than I…

Today was the day Spotify unleashed its annual Wrapped feature to listeners and artists. November 30, 2022. With a month left to go in the calendar year. What happens to the music we all listen to in December? Does it…

It's about freedom. And it's about the safety required to feel free. It's remaining upright, yet flexible while being unafraid to fall. It's the thrills and the chills, if not the spills. There is a rhythm to it –…

I have therapy in about 45 minutes.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. Thankstaking. Friendsgiving. We need a new word. Can we break the shitty associations?

Anyway, Annie and I got to be with family. We all sat around the table to…

Happy Thanksgiving! The most beloved American holiday with the most vile origin story. Here we are.

Gratitude

Every day in my journal I write about something for which I am grateful. They say it's a helpful practice for people like…

"Creative" as a noun is demeaning. You are not a "creative." You are a CREATOR. You made the thing. You had the idea and executed it. You synthesized influences, inspiration and ability to bring something into the world that…

Hello. It's me, singer-songwriter Matt Kollock. I just remembered I have a website, so I thought I'd add some content. Let you know what's happening in and around my coordinates. Stuff like that.

Speaking of coordinates, they've really been changing…

microorganism is one week old! Oh my god!

Welcome to episode 22 of The Matt Kollock Show!

In this final installment of the album's oral history, I get into what it took to finish the album in the final…

You made it back!

Welcome to Episode 21 of The Matt Kollock Show!

It's the second installment of microorganism's oral history. And historically the middle ones of these things are the best, right? We'll see about that.

This…

May the 14th be with you!

It's the day. Today. Today is the day. Today the album is released. It's out there. Available. Ready to experience. Fuckin' A.

I conceived this album exactly 14 months ago. It was a different…

It's episode 20 of The Matt Kollock Show podcast! Holy shit! We did it!

It's also microorganism Release Week here on mattkollock.com. Nice!

So on today's big-time, super-sized, extra-large, power-packed podcast, we discuss the album and its creation. Lots of…

Holy crap!

It's really, actually happening – my debut solo album, 🦠microorganism🦠, is arriving in the world and onto all the platforms this Friday, May 14, 2021. I could not be more relieved and excited.

It's been…

Hey 19! 

Welcome to the show. I'm so glad you're here! This is a very, very special episode of The Matt Kollock Show podcast, and I'm happy to know you're a part of it. Nice! 

Today's episode is all about…

It's a new episode of the podcast! I think this is a good one. It's all about working together. Collaborating. Making magic by gathering in art. With people just like you, dear listener!

Happenings and Such

How are you? Can…

Here we are again. Reintroducing The Matt Kollock Show. Reframing and recontextualizing. And this is exactly the way I want it!

Kind of a Course Correction

I said a lot of stuff in the previous episode of the podcast…
