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.

Adding to its list of awards and honors from Austin and around the country,
Waterloo Records has been named one of the 17 coolest record stores in America. The praise comes this time from the cool kids at
Paste magazine, the Atlanta-based mag that celebrates music, film, literature and culture and comes with a free music sampler CD each month — a pretty sweet feature, if you ask me. This month’s CD features music from My Morning Jacket, Alejandro Escovedo, My Brightest Diamond, Railroad Earth, The Watson Twins and many more.
The blurb from the July issue of Paste, which features My Morning Jacket on the cover:
Best Record Store to Grow Up and Grow Old With
Austin’s Waterloo Records has not only grown up with the Texas college-town/cultural crux, but has also stayed weird over the years. Teens find cool indie-rock 7-inches; college kids pick up Vampire Weekend or Criterion Collection DVDs, while their parents can buy Willie Nelson boxed sets and vintage Stevie Ray Vaughan posters.
