Sunday night is, of course, not a problem.

I only briefly checked this, but it seems that even on a nidche you can't listen to music until the next mourning. It's clear that bathing, laundering and haircutting are allowed immediately after the fast, and that eating meat and drinking wine are not. The sefer that I quickly looked it up in (Rabbi Eider's Kitzur Hilchos Bein Hametzarim) say that music goes with meat and wine, but the reference for that halacha just says 'kach nir'eh'.

ETA: I think the above is based on the Shulchan Aruch and Mishna Berurah. Those that pasken from other sources should obviously check it out for themselves.

Matisyahu: I ‘loosened the knots’ of my Judaism

http://www.timesofisrael.com/meet-the-new-reformed-matisyahu/

Seeing this interview, something makes me think that the Aish interview was heavily edited..
He's just way too stoned these days to have been so coherent at the Aish interview.
Just look at his responses here.
Unless perhaps he's usually high, and the Aish interview was an exception..

In any case, he seems to be extraordinarily unstable. May the L-rd have mercy on him and his children, בתוך כלל ישראל.

To those fans who are wondering why I put out my record in 3 weeks and playing show on Tisha b'av. Here is my reasoning: Besides the fact that I have Hetter if I wanted because of Parnasa; and that 90 % of my fans are NOT Religious Jews; I do not see my music as a form of entertainment but rather as a form of worship. My songs are infused with ideas about destruction of Temple and rebuilding, so forth and so on and there for I believe can only aid in the coming of Mosiach. Shalom

I feel really connected to steak and it's my way of recognizing godliness in the world so I eat it the whole 9 days especially on tisha bi'av. It is just such a spiritual experience for me I feel nothing bad could ever come from it. This is fulfilling why G-D put me here to bring moshiach.

ha ha, but really sad, me thinks we should all luz up on him, leave him be. I am happy I am not in his place and facing the nisyonos that chopped him down. We do not have a chiuv tochacha afaiu, we can daven for him.

Kitzur shulchon oruch writes that wine and meat is not allowed at night but allowed immediately the next day (as it is a nidcheh this year)

Music is not mentioned AT ALL in shulchon oruch in connection with the 3 weeks or sefirah.

It does however say in Shulchan Oruch that music is not allowed ALL year from the time that the beis hamikdash was destroyed.

Of course this is not the ethics thread:)

I know this is really old, but someone posted in the thread, making it pop up in my 'new replies' list, and I couldn't resist responding to this comment I must have missed originally. So Harry, if you happen to see this, here's my response:

I'm not sure why you had to go to the Kitzur. The Rama in Shulchan Aruch (558:1) says explicitly that on a nidche, meat and wine are asur till the morning (as opposed to till chatzos in most years). The Mishna Berurah there (558:4) says only meat and wine are asur till the morning, but bathing, laundering and haircutting are mutar right away (whereas in 558:3 he says they'd be asur till chatzos most years).

As far as music, the added issur of the 3 weeks over the rest of the year is brought down by many poskim. The lashon of the Mishna Berura (551:16) is "asur l'asos rikudin um'cholos m'yud zayin tammuz v'eileich" (this inyan is also found in the earlier poskim, though not in Shulchan Aruch). Poskei zmaneinu have differed in their application of this added issur to modern music consumption, but many people take on some level of stringency with regards to music during the 3 weeks. The question was whether this added stringency, which would certainly apply till chatzos during a regular year, is mutar immediately at night on a nidche. As I said, I saw in a likut sefer that it applies till chatzos, but there was no real mekor given.
