MATTHEW SWEET is the kind of guy who knows what he wants, and works really hard to get it. For his latest album, "100% Fun," he got star producer BRENDAN O'BRIAN to help out. And one day, he even got... well... we'll let Matthew tell you, next time on THE DIFFERENCE...

THE DIFFERENCE WITH TODD RUNDGREN is a weekly, two hour radio series highlighting today's top performers along with some of the coolest music ever recorded. Check your local listings for the time and station in your area - or - send us e-mail with STATION LIST as the subject line AFTER OCTOBER 6 so we can send you the updated list of affiliates (which should be done by then - we hope!).

If THE DIFFERENCE hasn't made it to where you live, don't worry, we're coming. You can help by WRITING to the Program Director of your favorite station to let them know how much you'd like to hear the show. (Trust us, it works!)

P.S. - This is the time of year when most stations shuffle their schedules, if not their entire formats! If THE DIFFERENCE isn't on when it should be, contact the station to find out where they've moved it to. While the show's being moved into different (but often better) time slots, our Distribution department informs us that NONE of the stations we're on have dropped the show, so DON'T PANIC!
