I just bought a grey Audio of Being from a used record store for only a buck. It's in pretty good condition too.

Awesome song, awesome cover. Good job!

Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me - Pearl Jam

Yeah, that was my information post, I guess. Now here's my "how I feel about the album" post. Definitely tied with BM for my favourite MGB album. This was of course the first album Matt did after his throat surgery, and AoB I believe has some of his best vocal takes ever (such as the final notes he hits on Man of Action and The Rat). His voice on this album combines the smoothness and range heard on Avalanche while retaining the bite heard on previous albums. As usual, MG really knows how to open and close an album (MoA and SOAPS), the latter of which is definitely one of his best songs. Other highlights for me include The Rat, Advertising, Tripoli and Truffle Pigs (the "Jen, I'll bring them to their knees" part is fantastic, although the person it's addressed to is probably the reason he doesn't play it anymore). Songs I feel are great but underrated include MoA, The Fall of Man, UTI and Workers (basically the best of the harder rocking material). Even Anti-Pop which is viewed by some as a throwaway track is a fun listen, and the lead single Carmelina is heavy and catchy, and has one of MG's best music videos. Let's see ... what didn't I mention ... oh, I, The Throwaway is a lovely song. Like most of Matt Good's music, these songs have helped get me through some pretty tough times dealing with depression, anxiety and OCD, so they mean a lot to me. Considering the situation with the MGB at the time and the mental illness we now know he suffers from, it's really no surprise that I connected with his music. Oh, and the AoB B-side All Together is his best song not on an album (actually one of his best songs period).

No More Sorrow - Linkin Park

Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen

Free Downloading Blues. Seriously, this song cracks me up every time I listen to it. "And the monkey pressed the button".

Yeah, and he changed the lyric "imagined" to "remembered", and instead of "typhoid" in one verse and "ashes" in the other, it's "ashes" both times. He also played Carmelina on the 2004 Put Out Your Lights tour, and he supposedly played Workers once or twice, but apparently no one got a bootleg of it. Also, according to setlists posted on this site, The Fall of Man and Under the Influence were played prior to the breakup of the MGB (UTI was also played in 2002). He's also played Sort of a Protest Song acoustically (2006), and if you hear it you'll notice the way he plays the ending of the song becomes the ending for She's in it For The Money.

Of Wolf and Man - Metallica

Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike

1) Weapon 2) House of Smoke and Mirrors 3) A Single Explosion (really tough) 4) 99% of Us is Failure 5) Advertising on Police Cars 6) A Boy and His Machine Gun (tough)

YOU"RE WRONG IF YOU THINK THAT I"LL BE JUST LIKE YOU!!111!!

Pearl Jam - No Way

Black Crowes - Jealous Again

Your Time Has Come - Audioslave

Song For The Girl is really the only obvious love song he's written, not including the demos. All Together seems like it would be a nice song to slow dance to, but the only part that makes it sound like a "love song" is the "baby if you could put me all together" line. Same with Running For Home, but there's nothing in it that makes it sound like a love song, in fact I believe it's about suicide, so probably not a good wedding song choice lol. I'd say Giant for the "I'm your man, baby, I'm your man" line, but in the context of the chorus I think it's an ironic lyric, not too mention it's too fast. As Long As You're Mine would be my pick regarding the demos. He's got a lot of songs about love, but most aren't particularly happy, either about heartbreak and disillusionment (like In It For The Money) or are nostalgic (It's Been A While).

The World on a String - Our Lady Peace

She Talks To Angels - Black Crowes
