Matthew Sweet: Danger Isn't His Middle Name...
Joss Hutton, Bucketful of Brains, 1996
Last Autumn saw Matthew Sweet return to London to promote his chirpy Blue Sky On Mars (Zoo Entertainment/BMG) album, Joss Hutton and Joe Presedo caught up with him a couple of days after his sold out gig at The LA2 and, over a few jars of Caffreys (Matthew's favourite tipple), lightly grilled him about life, the universe and his role in Mike Myer's hilarious 60's spy movie tribute Austin Powers – International Man of Mystery.
