	Mike Doughty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mike Doughty (born June 10, 1970), is a singer and songwriter best known as the lead singer of Soul Coughing (generally as M.
		Matthews professed to be a fan of Doughty's solo record Rockity Roll, in particular the song "27 Jennifers," so Doughty gave him a CD of rough mixes of an album he had been working on in Minneapolis with former Semisonic singer Dan Wilson.
		Doughty is an active blogger (see link below), commenting on pop culture, his life as a musician and his fans, and writing about and photographing his numerous travels, to Cambodia, Laos, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Mississippi.

	DOA - Mike Doughty - Concert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Mike Doughty has made Rochester a regular stopping point on his last several solo tours, including some that didn't even accompany a release.
		Doughty himself commented on all the hippies in one area - which he dubbed the Hippie Alcove - and I was amused that one guy dancing more voraciously than most immediately made his way over there after hearing that's where his kind was stationed.
		Doughty left and came back quickly for his encore, a fact I highly admire, and said he'd be by the merch table after the show to sign albums or chat with people, something extremely rare even with the most indie of bands.

	The Guide -- Mike Doughty Moves Beyond Soul Coughing
		Doughty, a published poet and essayist, is best known as the former frontman of fusion rock pioneer Soul Coughing.
		Doughty does note, however, that he is selective in choosing whom to sell his work to: the army, alcohol and tobacco manufactures, the Bush administration and Ralph Nader (whom Doughty blames for the current state of the world), in particular, need not apply.
		Though many of Doughty’s lyrics can be interpreted as referring to drug use, and, indeed, his music criticism unequivocally recounts his addled experiences, drugs are a topic he would rather not discuss in an interview.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| MUSIC \| Mike Doughty live review
		Doughty himself made allusion to the fact that "small rock" was becoming "medium rock", which is a shame for those of us who have been fans throughout the "small rock" phase of his new career, but we must accept the growing up of artists and crowds.
		Doughty began his set with "Busting Up A Starbucks" and then launched right into "Soft Serve", wherein he broke a string, changed it, and restarted the song with the line at which he had stopped.
		Doughty's shows stand out above most live shows because of the audience banter, the jokes, and the fact the he actually listens to what the audience is saying to him.

	NIPP: Artists: Mike Doughty
		This man is Mike Doughty, former frontman of world-renowned musical mish-mashers Soul Coughing, and he’s happier than he’s ever been.
		You see, this is all years after Doughty first entered the studio with the idea of a solo album on his mind.
		Doughty couldn’t find the right way to release it at the time, and too many other, bigger problems—of both a personal and professional nature—diverted his attention.

		In the process of all this musical evolution, Doughty discovered even more about what it means to be both a songwriter and an artist.
		Doughty had written a batch of songs that hadn't found a home with the band; faced with the prospect of scrapping the unused material, he instead entered the studio with producer Kramer (Low, Galaxie 500) and recorded the tracks that would becomeSkittish, his debut solo album.
		Doughty is thrilled to have his future squarely in his own hands.

	Amazon.com: Haughty Melodic: Music: Mike Doughty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Doughty has clearly morphed from hyperactive ironic hipster to a world-class songwriter with lyrics that are funny ("I want to run away and join the office") and self-deprecating but never emo ("All my life I've been slow and senseless/Not struck dumb I'm just dumb that's all").
		Doughty's signature percussive style is evident throughout, and the lyrics are something to be savored, too.
		I found Mike Doughty through the Veronica Mars soundtrack and quickly bought the album after hearing "I Hear the Bells." Not only are his songs catchy, but lyrically, he's consistantly clever and always suprising.

	HitSession Review: Mike Doughty
		Doughty is joined by Dave Matthews in the duet "Tremendous Brunettes." While Doughty is blessed with a unique vocal style, it's surprising how odd Matthew's voice sounds in comparison.
		Doughty's wry, sardonic voice sounds oddly ironic in "I Hear the Bells," which is one of the most engaging songs on the album (you will sing along with this song).
		Doughty demonstrates that he has few peers in the modern singer-songwriter era.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Mike Doughty: Rockity Roll
		A beat poet born into the wrong generation, Mike Doughty left behind a small army of bitterly disappointed fans when he announced the end of Soul Coughing, the peculiar stream-of-consciousness, sample-heavy jazz based combo he led through the course of three critically lauded albums.
		In the years since the end of Soul Coughing, Doughty has toured as a solo act, continually vowing that a solo disc was indeed in the works and offering a sheepish "I write slow" as explanation for said record's stubborn refusal to come into being.
		He laughingly refers to what he does now as "small rock", and that's an apt enough description, for although it's primarily stripped-back and acoustic-based, Doughty is not likely to be confused with a folk singer any time soon.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| Mike Doughty - Skittish / Rockity Roll album review
		Doughty strips it all down so that his ability as a songwriter first is readily apparent.
		In the simple arrangements and structures of these songs, Doughty showcases his dynamic misuse of guitar for greater ends, as well as his true penchant for crafting universally important songs that everyone needs to hear.
		If these are the remnants of the songs that are supposed to be included on the forthcoming full-length Doughty record, then we are assured a simply amazing record when it finally materializes (hopefully sometime this year).

		Doughty kick starts the album with Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well, setting a clear mood and tone that runs through the entire disk.
		Doughty takes all the instruments he and his band play, from acoustic and electric guitars to upright bass to trombone to saxophone to piano to cello to bagpipes and so much more, and treats them all like percussion instruments.
		Doughty could be singing in a foreign language, or even in gibberish, for that matter, and he'd still connect with listeners just as strongly on an abstract emotional level.

		Mike Doughty's new full-length comes after two solo EPs, recorded during his time with Soul Coughing.

		Doughty plays some of his new work for us, on the stage of World Cafe Live.

	Criminal Records - Mike Doughty : Haughty Melodic *
		Mike Doughty first gained attention as leader of the incomparably quirky New York quartet Soul Coughing, who scored a couple of unlikely modern-rock hits in the mid-to-late 1990s.
		Soul Coughing earned critical acclaim and a hearty cult following for its blend of Doughty's anti-folk poetry (often highly abstract and heavy on beat repetition) with unique and unquestionably catchy concoctions of jazz, funk, and electronica.
		However, he remains wildly and wonderfully unpredictable, as he duets with Dave Matthews on the barroom ballad "Tremendous Brunettes" at one moment and indulges in silly pop on the next with "I Hear the Bells." Awash with inventive instrumental textures, HAUGHTY MELODIC is an intelligent and unabashedly fun record.

	Mike Doughty: Haughty Melodic - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Haughty Melodic is everything you'd expect from Mike Doughty and more: it fuses his post-Soul Coughing singer-songwriter compositional style with the tapestry of brightly colored sounds and snarled grooves of his now-defunct, aesthetically pleasing -- in other words, fly -- band.
		In fact, Haughty Melodic is even more ritually adorned than anything Doughty's been involved in previously, quite the opposite from the stark tones of Skittish and Rockity Roll (his two self-released solo EPs re-released by ATO last year).
		And although Haughty Melodic is a reinforcement of Mike Doughty the Songwriter (as opposed to M. Doughty the Beat-Jivin' Jazz-Funk-Psych Band Leader), it is still a reminder of his idiosyncratic stature in contemporary American music.

	DECAPOLIS : Mike Doughty - Haughty Melodic
		Mike Doughty may not be a household name, but his voice will make most alternative rock fans nostalgic for the late 90's when his former band was a modern rock staple.
		Since Soul Coughing broke up in 2000, Doughty has been on the road, and this is the first solo album he's recorded in nearly a decade.
		In 2004, Doughty signed to ATO Records, the label founded by Dave Matthews (who makes an appearance on "Tremendous Brunettes"), and this is his first true studio album-Skittish was a low-budget acoustic project, more a demo than anything.

	Mike Doughty \| MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		So, I had never heard of Mike Doughty until three days ago when the lead track of his new single was playing on (Clear Channel owned, ridiculously named) Indie 103.1 in L.A. The song was very Soul Coughingesque, and I liked it a lot, so I went out and itunes'd the whole album.
		Mike Doughty also did a great bit with Dave Matthews Band that sort of starts out as "anyone seen the bridge" but he takes over with his ad-libbing and then introduces the band.
		Mike Doughty is one of the most original avant-garde beat-poetish lyricists/performers ever, say I. Check out his spoken-word tracks for a good example.

		Mike has become a beautifully mournful, smart-ass singer-songwriter in the vein of Richard Thompson.
		Doughty’s voice is a tightly controlled, slightly nasal croon that sounds like he learned to sing by listening to trumpet solos off old bebop records.
		I was lucky enough to find out that Mike Doughty had a solo career going and was selling this CD on his own website www.superspecialquestions.com The CD was signed and included his own unique word written on the cover.

	Mike Doughty: Skittish/Rockity Roll - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Mike Doughty is the favorite movie I can watch repeatedly -- only the scenes change a little each time to keep me on my toes.
		With the release of Skittish, packaged together with his 2003 EP Rockity Roll (with five bonus tracks tacked on), Doughty fans who have been continually moved by his music are now given the chance to connect with him on a deeper level.
		For instance, when he sings, "You were the only answer/My plans spun all around you/Five years in the wrong/I am assured my name to you is just another word", you know there's probably only one other person on the planet who truly understands the impact of those lines.

	Mike Doughty, a Mite Cutesy at the 9:30 Club
		Mike Doughty's most recent CD, "Haughty Melodic," was released on Dave Matthews's label, and the new tunes Doughty introduced Wednesday at the 9:30 club had a lot in common with his boss's output.
		Doughty's sincere re-creation of Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler," however, proved to be the night's highlight.
		But fans who were in for a dime were in for a dollar: Doughty coaxed those who stayed to alternately whisper, sing and scream along on the show closer, "Stand in the Light," which includes lines with Matthewsesque meaninglessness such as "I can be the air you drink."

		Mike's lyrical style fascinates me, and songs such as "Unsingable Name" and "Madeline And Nine" are particularly well-done.
		Perhaps my favorite lyric of the album is from "I Hear The Bells", where Mike sings "You snooze, you lose/Well I have snost and lost".
		I absolutely recommend Mike Doughty and this album, though you might find you enjoy the Skittish/Rockity Roll re-release more.
