Has Brendan O'Brien or Matthew Sweet been interviewed?

One of my fave albums of the 90s was Matthew's 100% Fun.....Brendan O'Brien produced that, among many other killer albums.....

As far as I can tell, he ain't gonna do any interviews. I tried for a while...

100% Fun is a perfect sounding record.

Thanks for trying to get him Larry.....

I listen to 100% Fun often when I'm mixing as a reference and sometimes when I am warming up to sing.....It's had a huge influence on me.....

While I'm still awfully keen on Matthew Sweet's self-produced/engineered efforts, there is definitely magic in the Brendan O'Brien stuff.

100% Fun = awesome. That came out just as I was getting into recording. Big influence on me as well, along with Girlfriend (has Fred Maher been interviewed?).

BTW: the new Matthew Sweet record comes out next week!
