I didn't intend to offend or attack you. I meant to attack Klein :angry: I do like how he is a real person and not some stiff in a suit, but I am rather irritated at times by how "real" of a person he is. I wasn't quoting you on reign, that was my word. I use it because I feel that it describes his time in office. I'm sorry if I came off as hostile, that was not my intent. I'm just getting in the spirit of the politics forum ;). As for the icon, I thought it was cute so I chose it as my avatar (at least for the time being). PS: It's a hot dog.

I love female vocalists. A few I love that were mentioned above: Sarah Harmer, Tori Amos, Jewel (pre-Intuition). A few others: Ani Defranco, Loreena Mckennitt, Sarah Mclachlan. Most of the music I listen to is by women, actually.

Klein as the leader of a new Alberta-led country? Oh come on. Klein is nothing more than a drunken, arrogant moron. The only reason Alberta is doing so well under his 'reign' is because of the current oil wealth, which will not last forever. I can understand talking about separation. I can see why you would feel it necessary. But Klein? He's a fucking moron and the last person who should be running ANY government, let alone an entire province or country.

It all really depends on how you define big...

Pretty weird I think.

It's a shame that the industry drives artists to such ends, though it's not surprising to see it happening again. It's hard to make real music in an age when it's all so commercial and manufactured. It's amazing that Matt has held on as long as he has. I suspect that he will record the final record he owes Universal and then take a hiatus for awhile to figure himself out artisically again. Based on what he wrote, it looks like what he wants/needs.

It didn't sell well simply because very few people care about MG. They are fools. FOOLS!

At least they recognise him for that instead of Load Me Up or Hello Time Bomb... What is it that everyone has against Hello Time Bomb and Load me Up? It seems that by default people here think that singles are bad. Just because they're up-tempo and more "accesable" doesn't meen that they're bad. I have nothing against them and do like them. I just am kind of annoyed when people assume MG to have only released two songs: HTB and LMU. The majority of people that I've mentioned MG around only know of those two songs.

Email me at rgopp at shaw.ca in the next 24 hours and I can send Dusk to you. After that it's holidays for me!

If I was selling (which I don't do for the reason you gave) I simply wouldn't allow bids from people with less than [insert arbitrary number here] positive feedback unless they proved they were serious somehow (phone call perhaps).

There's two types of covers: 1) The covering band tries to sound like the original band and fail horribly since they're NOT the original band. 2) The covering band records the music with a unique and personal twist. These folks are obviously the second, as are most good (not a pun, I swear!) covers. As for why they're doing MG covers...why not? They obviously like him.

Posting or going on messenger drunk is a lot of fun once in awhile. I haven't done so in quite some time, though I have a few very fond memories that I will not share. hah

True, but what (if anything) does that have to do with being ethnocentric?

ah! no! it's per se, and you didn't use it in the right context! sorry. english major in me talking. resume. What does English have to do with it? "Per se" is latin. Also, why is the English major not using capital letters and complete sentences?

I never really liked Oh Be Joyful either. I certainly don't hate it, but it doesn't stand out much to me.

Gordan Freeman has always vaguely resembled Matt Good. So has a friend of mine from a nearby town. It's so unimportant as to not warrant a second thought.

Even better...!

Ok, that's seriously fucked up. I'll be there! It's going to be a rough tour though. There'll still be morons in the audience shouting "PLAY RICO!!!" as they won't have kept track to know that Matt lost it.

The icon...it's horrible! I've seen the website, but must we see her here too! ;) You don't seem to have an avatar, so go and get one that annoys everyone like mine does. I'll keep my eye out for one!

Or perhaps the Xbox reference in Black Helicopter? =)
