The M.O.
Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

Austin may be the Live Music Capital of the World, but after a while you just get sick of hearing “professional” musicians and want to
get drunk unwind with your friends and belt out your favorite tunes of yesteryear. That’s where Common Interest, with 36 percent of the vote, the winner of the Your A-List poll for best karaoke, comes into play.
Whether you are celebrating a birthday, getting to know your co-workers in a more casual/awkward environment or just have a burning, deep-down inside to sing Journey, Madonna or Billy Joel while you sip rail booze, the Japanese import of karaoke has no peer.
In addition to allowing you a stage on which to glorify/humiliate yourself, Common Interest also offers major events on the big screen, including college and pro football. And because karaoke without a healthy amount of booze is like Hall without Oates, Common Interest offers a variety of weekly specials, including Tecate Tuesday, Whiskey Wednesday and Thirsty Thursday.
At Common Interest, everyone’s a star. Don’t stop believin’, Austin.
