My Music Monday

I cannot go on record to say I'm a big matchbox 20 or Rob Thomas fan. I mean, I don't think I'd go out of my way to see them perform live. And I've never actually purchased a thing of theirs. 

All of that aside, they have a handful of songs I either like or like enough not to hit the 'next channel' button on the radio. I guess just not enough to part with my money. 

Thomas has a new solo disk out apparently. I tripped upon one of the songs, "Machine". At least at this point it hasn't been released as a 'single', so it might just be a regular old album cut. 

It's all of two minutes and 40 seconds long, which is fine too. There is no new ground broken here for Thomas, be it in his solo work or with his band, but it's got a good beat. Part of it sounds familiar to any number of his previous songs. Sometimes familiarity is good. 

....and yes, I listen now for songs I can throw in a running playlist to pretend it helps my pace.
