SUPPORT ME ON PATREON\n\nWATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE\n\nI\u2019m taking a 4T pause this week to discuss the cause of all my weekly postings, them being:\n\n\xb7 Song for Saturday \u2013 I started way back in February 2016, with \u201cSNo Globe\u201d, which at the time was off my latest release, The Sunshine Seminar. I decided to do a \u201creverse chronology\u201d of my music from that point on. Nearly 200 weeks (and songs) later, I\u2019ve made it all the way back to 1986 \u2013 and there\u2019s still more to go.\n\n\xb7 The Thursday Throwback Track (4T) \u2013 In April 2016, I took a look at the vast collection of cassettes I purposely displayed at the foot of my bed. I realized that everything I\u2019ve ever listened to has somehow connected to everything I\u2019ve ever written & produced, and that it would be cool to both explore those connections and discuss all kinds of music in general.\n\n\xb7 New Music Tuesday (NuMuTu) \u2013 Then about two years ago, as I started to record my next batch of songs, I wanted to cast the spotlight on what I\u2019m doing now. Every week I either share a new song I\u2019ve written/produced/covered, or announce a gig or some other aspect of what I\u2019m doing.\n\nSO \u2026 why?? What\u2019s the point of doing all this? It\u2019s a real commitment to not miss a single week\u2019s post \u2013 three times a week \u2013 for years. What\u2019s my motivating factor? YES I love evolution & seeing how artists grow & change & link to their origins (Song for Saturday). YES I love to discuss any artist I\u2019ve ever been into, both in general and in certain contexts (The Thursday Throwback Track). YES I\u2019m an active music artist myself (REC, Nick DeMatteo, other bands), and want to share my new releases and activities (New Music Tuesday). But what links all those?\n\nWell that\u2019s easy. Me. My music. I live & breathe music, and want everyone to know it. I am a veteran times infinity at this point, and loving every minute of every music thing in my life. Like the artists I feature, I have a history, an evolution, even a legacy. A good songwriter/musician friend of mine believes that it doesn\u2019t matter how old a song is if it\u2019s good. And it ESPECIALLY doesn\u2019t matter if the vast majority of the world has no idea who you are. To them, a song from 1999 is the same as one from 2020. SO \u2026 above and below are direct links to my discography, with songs dating as far back as 1995 \u2013 what I consider my \u201cmodern\u201d period, after a good 15 years of development.\n\nNick DeMatteo \u2013 Modern Discography - https://www.nickdematteo.com/music\n\nListen. Explore. Share. Like. Comment. And stay tuned \u2026 all of this is leading up to a stage show I\u2019m producing, to be workshopped this year & debuted soon after.\n\nWhat are your favorites? What\u2019s your take in general? What do you think of any of this?? Discuss dammit!\n\n\n--- \n\nThis episode is sponsored by \n\xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app\n\nSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/musicisnotagenre/support\nLearn more about your ad choices.
