Thanks to Matt for his dedication in keep us all up-to-date with the progress on this Album. This week besides the twitter updates, Matt made an appearance on the WFUV road trip: SWSX 2008 recap: Listen here, or you can search itunes and download the podcast. A transcript is below, but try and listen because there is a snippet of the song “money” to end.
Radio host: “Another unique singer I checked out is new-comer Matt Morris, who is working Charlie Saxon, Patty Griffin and Justin Timberlake on his debut album and he has good reason for his seriously soulful voice.” Matt Morris:
“I usually, sort of, found inspiration in female singers from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s because there is this heart and this vulnerability that comes across and I think in the history of recorded music there is a little more comfort with allowing, letting women to put that across; like to allow a little bit of soul to show. It was just about, like, passion.”
I am still unsure why this album is being called Matt’s debut. Sure it is Matt’s first album under the Tennman Record label, but I hope people don’t forget about UnSpoken.
4. Ryan Gosling.
Ryan is set to star in “Good Things”.
Set in Gotham, plot follows a real estate dynasty scion’s (Ryan Gosling) affair with a girl (Kirsten Dunst) who goes missing.
“Tony Lucca may be a bit of a folkie, but his pop crossover appeal has landed him opening slots for ‘N Sync and Marc Anthony. He also has enough soul to hang with Joss Stone on a duet of “When Love Comes to Town” (check his MySpace site for the video).”
JC was on the Tyra Banks show this week. He also found himself refuting the rumors that he was in a relationship with Chace Crawford. “”For the record, we’re both straight. We’re not dating.”

This week Matt will be in Austin as he continues to work in the recording studio. This album, Matt’s first released under the Tennman Records label, is expected out sometime 2008, with Matt hinting that it will be before the weather gets too hot.! Via Matt’s twitter feed.
2. Tony Lucca.
Matt’s not the only MMC’er working on a new Album. Tony is currently working on his new recordings. This time it will be an acoustic EP, titled “Close to home”. Tony has uploaded some behind the scenes footage to youtube.
In a recent interview with Ryan he talked briefly about MMC, and the trouble he got into.
The story goes that Gosling was such a bad influence on the future popstrels that their mothers complained to the studio. ‘I was just telling them what I’d heard about sex,’ he says. ‘You know, the positions and stuff.’ Disney, unsurprisingly, hauled young Gosling into its offices: ‘Disney had a meeting with me, and they were like, ”You’re not Disney material. We’re gonna kick you off the show if you say anything sexual again.” I’m f—ing 12. All I care about is sex! How can I not talk about it? I don’t know what they expected.’
JC is in the TV guide, page 58 for March 10-16 issue.
Does it terrify you that folks can YouTube your old Mickey Mouse Club numbers?
You know, I have no control over that, but I’m not ashamed of it in any way, shape or form. I’m not going to be embarrassed by something I did when I was 14. Those are like my high-school years, and I’m proud of that.
Tony will be touring all over the US, starting March 20 2008. You check where he will be performing here.
