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.

One of my favorite bands is lending its voice to the relied efforts in Haiti. While some bands have played telethons or auctioned off tickets to shows, Wilco has decided to post on their site two live shows for free download. All they ask in exchange is that you donate at least $15 to either OXFAM or Doctors Without Borders. Sounds reasonable enough to me. The shows in question are from July 13, 2009 Keyspan Park - Brooklyn) and November 4, 2009 (HMV Forum - London).
Also, if you’re looking to get something for your donation, all proceeds from the sale of
this Haiti United soccer T-shirt are going to the Red Cross.
