I only discovered the amazing Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs collaborations a couple of weeks ago. I instantly went out and tracked down their works (bought local!), and have been gorging on them ever since. Wow. These are two artists I have very much liked independent of each other. But together? Unbelievable. The voices, and their sensibilities are just stunning. Go buy all their music!
