  2. i like them.. their first album is better.. the intro from the cd you mentioned is part of a song on their first album. (and they sound nothing like rush.. except for vocals. but vocals does not a band make.)
  3. a ) pretty standard setlist B ) the kool haus show was way better c ) we saw rich priske in chester's beers of the world. he signed my ticket

  8. Politics is the one thing that seems to excite Matthew Good more than music. So the Vancouver rocker made sure he had Tuesday night off from his rigorous tour schedule. Good spent it holed up in his Montreal hotel room with his wife Jenny, flipping through the channels and surfing the Internet, watching the U.S. election returns come in. "It is without question the definitive moment in history in our lives," Good said in an interview on the eve of the election. "It is that important." Such statements come as no surprise to Good fans. He's the consummate political junkie, spending as much as four hours every day on his laptop or reading the newspapers to keep up on the latest smidgen of an update. So it's with some trepidation that any interviewer breaches the subject with Good, out of fear that the ensuing monologue will monopolize the entire slotted time period. But it has to be done. It wouldn't be a Good interview without some Bush-whacking. "It's extremely reckless, extremely dangerous," continues Good's barrage on President George W. Bush's foreign policy. "And if it's allowed to continue, grow and attempt to achieve some of its other goals, it's going to make the world a far more dangerous place." At this point, Good pauses and moves his mouth away from the phone so he can sneeze (he's been plagued by a head cold for the past week). It seems as good a time as any to change topics. Let's talk about the music, Matt. Your new album, White Light Rock and Roll Review, is as different from last year's Avalanche as it could possibly be. Gone are the strings and the lush sonic structures. White Light is straight-from-the-garage, off-the-floor guitar rock. It contains snippets of The Who and heavy dollops of Crazy Horse. There's even a couple of songs that are pure alt-country, steel pedal guitar and all. The project is different than anything you've done before. "It's kind of the goal," Good says with a condescending shrug and maybe a bit of a yawn. "Hopefully, it's all different. "It was very much influenced by touring the last record, slowly kind of throwing out those elements live that I didn't particularly want to use. Through that kind of refinement, I found myself writing songs that were very direct and the instrumentation sparse. I was just very much influenced to record that kind of record." The resulting product is probably his best yet. He's teamed up with Limblifter and former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur to present the new songs on his current tour which comes to Hamilton tomorrow. So what's next for Good ? He wouldn't mind continuing down the alt-country road, he says. As a matter of fact, he'd love to record an album with his namesakes from the Sadies, Dallas and Travis Good. "I think the next record I make is going to be far more eclectic and a lot less accessible," he says. "I don't think you'll find any songs that could really be played on the radio on it. I spent a decade doing that. To tell you the truth, it's such a boring thing to me now. You know, 'here's the single, make a video.' I'm kind of fed up with it."
  9. i think the same could be said of most sequels, really.
  10. i have a couple versions. matt stops to yell at some kids in the one from the toronto show a couple weeks ago
  11. no. it's really not all that much. it's still in the original package. and it's number 03617
  12. if you're going to take pictures, at least have the deceny to turn the flash off.. a lot of artists say that it's distracting to have flashes gouing off every 30 seconds.. not like flash is useful in a concert setting, anyways
  13. it's fucking odd.. didn't really seem to have any purpose. quite frankly, it was boring. i nearly fell asleep.
  14. wasn't alien a quadrology?
  15. 4/10 disappear every 2 years, then reapper with a hit alice in chains
  16. i just paid $60 for loser anthems and some aob/avalanche/wlrrr stickers
  17. 0/10 lame. bad lyrics. bad songs. a lot of determination and heart, though. david bowie
  18. aye.. that thread does nary apply to this context
  19. loser anthems used to be $6.79 ;)
  20. 1 whiny, feminist, acoustic angst-rock nine inch nails
  21. motherfuckin' P I M P
