matt brown: master of the pop hook, skillful web marketer, my friend

Question: What do you do when you run out of space to promote your music on your MySpace?

Answer: Get four MySpaces.

Matt Brown, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for over 10 years, is working on a new album with his band Third Lobby, and I am psyched. For two reasons: 1) The production values seem better even than his last album, which was quality. 2) He's branching out and trying new things with his songs (I understand that ), and I like the direction he's going.

For more Matt Brown/Third Lobby goodness, check out the following:

• Third Lobby MySpace
• Matt Brown & the Scenics (side project)
• Matt Brown/Third Lobby in Progress
• More Secret Songs (from the upcoming third album)

I love that Matt is posting his new-song mixes in order of production. It's a great way to: a) Build hype for the new album and b) Give an inside look into the band's creative process.
