i think the sexiest thing about matt is his intelligence - not only in his lyrics, but his thought of mind and way of living. absolutely my idol :)

What a really cool enigma he is. I mean in an interview you can tell that Michael Stipe or Morrissey are uncomfortable and that kind of drives them to write those lyrics where as this guy seems at ease until he gets behind a microphone. This isn't a criticism at all it should be said explicitly and I don't hold him with any suspicion. What a band and what a lyricist...and yes they are easily as good as Arcade Fire atm although we still don't hear them anywhere near as much.

@laika288 Nice Analysis, I totally agree. Dw, I don't think anyone who's heard his music would ever doubt his sincerity.

"its was funny that it was used for a presidential campaign...cause it's not really pro America"

LMAO

@IanEColeman omg noooooo! don't make me have to choose between them. damn your use of basics maths to compare them. ahhhhhh!

This Gentleman is so intelligent and sexy...

You could also argue that close quarters with people could be extremely uncomfortable with others and leading to a not very warm open person...my thoughts.
