I'll drive up to Canada. I've got enough family there that my main motive in going shouldn't be Matthew Good. I just picture him playing at the 9:30 club... that would be great.

I'm with you ,spies. This will be interesting. You know, I hate to say it, but I felt bad for George Bush last night. I've never seen a man so intellectually intimidated as he was. But Al Gore tore him apart in the debates 4 years ago, too. Look where that got us...

Oh simmer. No harm intended, and I'm only joking. The reason I said that was because of all the people saying how hot Matt is compared to whoever that guy is in Half Life and the discussion became about that. I just thought it was a really juvenile topic shift. How do you feel about this? I got an $NF for posting that last reply.

Thank you for participating in this case-study. It is evident that the majority of attendees at nearfantastica.com are below the age of fifteen and female, and/or are "gamers..." Hence, its lack of adverts as a locale for sex advice.

Hotter? I think the gentleman in the picture is quite literally on fire. That's a pretty "balmy" temperature, if I do say so myself. Wait, I just did.

Sammy - pick up your shit. Don't let my avatar scare you. I'm American. I'm a Matthew Good fan. I know a number of people around here who are. More than you'd think. I feel like he's denying his live performances to America because he can, and that's all.

It's all about exposure. Please don't misunderstand me here. I love the guy's music. I just don't think that he has the patience to try to garner an American fanbase. I think that he has a jaded opinion of what the American people are like because of how he filters what he sees and reads. In the past I've noticed that when Matt feels that he's not being liked or appreciated, he "cuts off his nose to spite his face." He likes to be in control of what he gives to people... I don't know why, in his opinion, the United States isn't worthy of his effort. If he's so confident about his message, then he should close his eyes and go for it balls-to-the-wall. It's just too bad the man doesn't believe in himself as much as his fans do.

I don't think they sound that similar... sorry.

Matt is that you again? "Why do you like me...?"

Exactly, Rosie... You were there.

Earlier this year his board closed down shortly after a sharp attack at his stubbornness set him off to (rumor here) actually post several times on the board and then claim that someone was pretending to be him. I think that the allegations are pretty unlikely knowing what I know. In any case, if he's only going to use his board to discuss how great he is and get his share of e-fellatio from it, then I hope it doesn't last.

So what you're telling me is that Canada has such a fragile sense of pride that just playing music in the United States could jeopardize that? Or are you saying that Canada has such a huge sense of pride that you eat, drink, shit, and bleed the maple leaf? (In other words, Canada is Buffalo?) Now I'm confused.

Amazingly, you've managed to be so successful with this. I guess that's the difference between posting the same thing in the matthew good forum instead of the marketplace forum. good for you.

I love that you adopted my More Cowbell GIF.

I got your attention with the "Guess who I saw in DC last week" thing, huh? I actually saw Sam Roberts in DC last week. Funny how someone who really just debuted in Canada can get such reviews in DC. They've had a lot of help from the Tragically Hip, yes. But Matt Good has been around for so long... How can playing in the US even begin to be an issue? Am I missing something? Is it really spite like all my friends say it is? I mean, I don't necessarily like America either, but it hasn't stopped me from rocking here. Edited to actually make sense.

Dude, you dislike more songs than you like. Some of those really surprised me. What do you have against Jenni's song or Middle Class Gangster? Didn't touch your mus-TANG when I was In the parking lot

Juanpe Try sending something over here. I'll tell you if it works. Finally got the damned "bold" right. What is this code, anyway?

25K? That's not much at all. I work in DC and I know that four people I work with bought the CD. And Top 100 in Cabada? Talk about watering it down. I think I could release a top 100 CD in America right now... It's not about the money, though. Oh, unless you want to (or don't want to?) play in the US.

He was at the Tragically Hip show in DC last night, too. What a wacky guy!

This one is better? You're thinking about it too much, by the way.

Tell me what you think. You can listen to songs at their web page. Hightower Ever heard of them?

I know you don't believe me, but it may or may not be true.

Many thanks to Lauren for the $$$... She's the winner of a free live CD. It pays to be the first to step up. <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~kbernardp/haircut.jpg">

I have to say "Amen"
