So, I was just watching Rushmore (can’t believe I never saw this in high school when it came out), and at some point I heard a song, and it totally reminded me of Josephine.
It was Nothing in This World by the Kinks, of course.

Now, they don’t *really* sound alike, except for that line about “I found out…” But I still got excited.
This is what I love about Matt’s music- how it always seems to reference other music (not that I know that this Kinks song actually influenced Josephine). Of course, I guess all music influences other music, but with Matt I just feel like ... he gets so excited about music, and that really comes out in his own work…or something. Sorry, I can’t figure out exactly what I’m trying to say here.
Anyway, just wanted to share that randomness. I’m sort of obsessed with the idea of musical roots, so, yeah.
