Knowing what we do about what's happened in Matt's life in the last couple years, I think it's understandable that most people's first reactions is that he's railing on his ex. Again. And the song is most likely, at least in part, trying to vent out those emotions. After getting the chance to listen to it a few more times and kinda digest it all, to me at least, it seems more like he's lashing out against people who emobody those qualities that he feels his ex has and it's kind of a "fuck, why didn't I see that coming?" sort of song. I can see where people are coming from when they say they want him to move on creatively and artistically and that their sick of songs about his ex (although, I think when it comes down to it, there's really only 3, if you wish to include this one), but at the same time, writing these songs is probably helping him to move on and get past this personally, and maybe I'm just being too much of a humanist about this, but that's likely an important thing for him. That's my two cents.

Christmas for The Boy Who Could Explode, on the myspace page.

I've enjoyed all the demos he's posted ;) Also, I am convinced that the line written on the lyrics page for the song that says "There's one in the basement in a box without no hair" should be "There's one in the basement in a box without no air".

Me too please. <3

I love all of you.

I still have the myspace page open with it, but I'm also a huge fan of private messages, no matter what they contain. Unless it's a picture of a penis.

Finger 11 having success = Juno.

Personally, I think as he get's older, he's also getting more bold, in the sense that he's willing to straight up say what's on his mind instead of, and I don't mean this to sound disparaging or like an attack on Matt's character, but instead of hiding his feelings and thoughts behind the metaphors on albums like Beautiful Midnight and the Audio of Being.

Silent Army in the Trees was introduced during the Nothing To Hide tour and used as a lead in to Black Helicopter.

Mine's probably going to be a little late getting out, but it will be sent soon!

I dig it a lot.

Which one of those bands has had the most success in the US?

LOTGA: Fearless Raygun: Generation X-Wing Underdogs: Apparitions Beautiful Midnight: Suburbia/Born to Kill/Running for Home Loser Anthems: The Fine Art Of Falling Apart Audio of Being: Sort of a Protest Song Avalanche: Weapon White Light: We're So Heavy/Blue Skies Over Bad Lands In a Coma: Prime Time Deliverance Hospital Music: A Single Explosion/99% of Us is Failure

I too have audacity and am just retarded and won't be able to figure it out unless someone holds my hand. I did manage to keep the tab open with that blogpost, so I can still listen to it ;)

Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak

I'm sitting there clicking refresh every 2 minutes so I can get a chance to hear it, seeing as I have to leave for work in about 50 minutes. Edit: it's up now.

Matt's posted another new song on the blog, entitled "Volcanoes", though at the time of this post, the embed isn't working so I haven't actually heard it. Lyrics are taken from the blog post: I know the place But it

My playlist is done (I did it twice), and I have a bubbly envelope to mail it, just no blank cds. Also, it is fucking cold and I'm not leaving my house unless it is necessary.

Watched The Matrix today and am watching Jurassic Park right now, mad love for both.

I watched Match Point yesterday, fantastic. Also, I want to bang ScarJo.

I just ordered some cd's online from Future Shop, so once I get those and it warms up a bit here, I'll send mine out.

For my ipod, I just ended up using the crowd photos he took from the shows I have copies of.
