This whole business of picking the two most commercial songs off the album bugs me to no end. Maybe I'll just let you lot decide. I can't possibly be expected to.

What are recoreds?

which panic button song off the upcoming album has the best lyrics? my paper heart burns i called cause you said that you wanted the truth i was only in love with the idea of you and it seems like i'm home when the phone doesn't ring now i stare at your picture to make myself sick sometimes it hurts but you know that i'll lie my paper heart burns on the inside you broke my heart so i set your house on fire a small work of art as the flames reached to the sky i called cause you said that you wanted the truce i was only in love with the idea of you and it seems like i'm home when the phone doesn't ring now i reread your letters to make myself sick yeah i'm inert but i'll tell you i'm fine my paper heart burns on the inside you broke my heart so i set your house on fire a small work of art as the flames reached to the sky naomi how do you feel when they say that they love you? your pretty face on a movie screen the kids come out in droves to see you we can't all be heard or seen live it up until your time runs out another life a mouth to feed the kids forgot all about you we grew up on our own dreams throw around your money your token stars live for the fakers and heavy hearts shake up the mix and kill the dark do you still want what they've got? how do you feel when they say that they love you? your pretty face on a movie screen the kids came out in droves to see you we can't all be heard or seen live it up until your time runs out a life to give a mouth to feed the kids forgot all about you we grew up on our own dreams give it up if you can't play the part live for the makers and rolling art shake up the mix and kill the dark but you'll always want what they've got echoes wash and wear rinse and repeat hung out to dry by the gaps in your teeth the more things change the more they stay the same wash and wear rinse and repeat hung out to dry by the gaps in your teeth sing me to sleep and hope that i don't wake one two three breath leave your heavy hearts at home tired eyes meet the morning too soon i feel different than the way i use to we're way to young to feel this used all those years spent away from you for the better was a great excuse for you to use wasn't it the truth leave your heavy hearts at home this is where i go to die this is where i fuel the fire that burns inside and keeps me up at night leave your heavy hearts at home everyone's good for something the days like to start at six am you wake up and head out only to pretend that the world is so full of benevolance and everyone's good for something most days the nights never end you break down and stress out but it's meaningless when those poor saps around you start trembling tell them everyone's good for something everyone's good for something when it feels like you're lost suffer the cost everyone's good for something most days you don't want to wake up you can't wait for the spinning to stop it's so unfortunate there's something wrong with us seems like everyone's good for nothing everyone's good for something when all hope is gone try to hold on everyone's good for something the one i am i walk around with my claws out i walk around ready to cave in i wait around with a clouded mind i wait around for a second wind the one i am is the one i hate yesterday ended where today begins i wade around with a heavy heart i wade around breaking down the one i am i've always been yesterday ended where today begins come home i could walk home but i can't feel my feet if the phone rings it won't be fore me in three days i haven't seen sleep i've been waiting around for a new disease i wait by the window for you to come home and i leave the light on so you know i'm alone i wait by the window for you to come home to me the cat comes and the cat leaves just long enough to put me at ease i wait by the window for you to come home and i leave the light on so you know i'm alone i wait by the window for you to come home to me miles away the ocean speaks like the wholes in my eyes that help me to see your rubber laws and selfish beliefs all the doors are locked and i have no keys sing the song of our undoing we've folded over gently and substance taken claim complacent are the enemy with idiocy to reign the market has it's prisoners the streets they hold the vain my weakened mind has been made up and so i choose the same so sing the song of our undoing sing the song of a loss of self control it's all we've ever known we've folded over gently and substance taken claim complacent are the enemy with idiocy to reign the market has it's prisoners the streets they hold the vain my weakened mind has been made up and so i choose the same so sing the song of our undoing sing the song of a man without a soul it's all we've ever known but that song is getting old breathing in is such an inconvenience sleeping in is good as an escape everywhere the innocent are dying right here i'm just wasting away end of transmission as i lie here tonight i'm reminded of all of those times you said one day we'd both be together well i'm guessing that those plans have changed and i could wait out in the ocean or stand in the pouring rain sooner or later my feet would get tired but my memory won't fade away it's an end of transmission from the life i was living before something is missing but no ones listening to me anymore as i lie here tonight i'm reminded of all of those times you said one day we'll both be together well i'm guessing that those plans have changed and i could wait out in the ocean or stand in the pouring rain sooner or later my feet would get tired but my memory won't fade away i've self destructed and now i know for sure my time is up and no one's listening to me anymore a holiday away here is a story that i'd like to tell she knew me better than i knew myself and i can't believe that i let her go the only girl that i've ever loved holidays start when the plane touches down and holidays end when you're put in the ground never a feeling and never a sound until you find the one you love i took my time and i tried to relax you just walked on and you never looked back spending a lifetime dying alone living it out in a house without doors

I don't know. I think deep down inside I hate kids.

Aston Villa? Ahahahaha. God no. Note: I also consider Man U and Celtic to be vilains, so if you mean them, no to that as well.

I support Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers. It's been a while since either struggled. You're totally right though. Support your team no matter what. I spent about $90 on my Rangers jersey and $75 on the Arsenal one.

Buffalo Seven.

I think that's the first post I've seen you make where you didn't come across looking 12. Well done. Now lets see if you can string a few more together. AOB is an amazing album. We both agree. We both agree why. No need to comment on that further. I may be coming down a little hard on WLR&RR. I do enjoy a few songs. Mainly Ex-Pats, which I think is excellent, Buffalo Seven, Little Terrors, Put Out Your Lights, and Fell in Love with a Bad Idea. Sad fact though songs like North American for Life and Hopeless are garbage which brings the album down in my opinion. The lyrics are not only transparent, but they're tired and overused. It doesn't paint enough of a picture to keep my interest. All in all, given the chance I wouldn't exchange my money for the album, but I also wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking to buy good rock music. You know, I'd much rather have someone argue with me who's done their research than sit hear and read another sappy sob story about how I should leave if I hate Matt Good. So good on you for that much. I'm pretty sure Matt moved out of the apartment and into a house but I could be wrong and if so I apologize to everyone I offended. You're right. I paid for the ticket, so I've basically got to put up with the way he runs his show. As for the beer tent, I really don't drink, so I'd rather see Amnesty International set up then have to deal with drunks. I skipped the latest tour, and I'm sure he didn't miss my $35. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place? http://photobucket.com/albums/v499/thenewd...recordstore.jpg I try not to download music. Especially music made by artists who are so clearly against it. I was surprised the backlash against me wasn't larger, so you're not likely to find much against you.

At the time of release Matt said Audio of Being was an album he was really proud of. When I listened to the AOB premier a few months ago it was clear that the whole band was really excited about it's release. How quickly the tune changed. In my opinion AOB is probably Matt's best writing both musically, and lyrically and the most solid album in the MGB catalogue. It's sad to think that an album that amazing is so quickly forgotten by him when it's easily his best. Edit: I was really hoping someone would attack my musical talents.

My point exactly. If I ever started slipping in the lyrical department I'd take a break until I got it back. Clearly he has it in him to write good music, but a song like North American for Life has neither thought nor originality. George is teaching the kids to fight... That line bothers me the most. In my opinion it's way too trite for a respectable musician.

It's Scot. Just the one t. And although I've never said anything to get someone to side with me it's nice that someone understands where I'm coming from.

I think Bush forced him to quit. Rice now sits pretty snug to become the first black president who is also a woman. I had a little more respect for Powell, but Rice is an idiot. No doubt the Americans will vote her in.

Yep. Tyler Pedrotti attends UBC.

I realised my comments would get this kind of reaction, and I'm glad they did because it will allow me the opportunity to explain my actions. It's no big secret that I don't like the direction Matt has taken with his music. I do infact miss the Matthew Good Band, but realise the path it needed to go take to stay as a whole was ruined mostly by Matt's ego. I feel it's just as much my prerogative to speak against what I see to be badly written music mixed with nonsense political jargon as it is his to write it. If I had wanted to listen to/attend concerts where I was paying to hear about the war in Iraq I'd go see U2. That or I'd watch CNN. I have no interest in doing either. I don't expect you to understand, but I do expect you to respect my opinion as I respect yours. Edit: I hardly ever comment in the MG forum.

Thanks for the input everyone.

every pass that goes adrift. every ball lose. can't tackle can't shoot.

Dear Mr. Good, As a citizen of this messageboard that has been part of the community since internet was invented, I wanted to write you this quick message in a futile attempt to persuade you to reconsider returning to this messageboard anytime in the future. My reasons, five in total, are as follows… 1) You are nothing but a spoiled brat who doesn't realise people don't want to read your whinny posts about how the music industry has treated you unfairly while you live your posh lifestyle in a big house in rural Vancouver. 2) Being that I once paid $35 to hear you whine about war when you should have been playing songs, which as of late have sucked. 3) I came here to avoid the plotting of schemes to drive you away. Although they have been mostly successful, take up a great deal of my time which could be put to better use leading the rock revolution; something you have done nothing for. 4) White Light Rock & Rollwas a waste of $15. I want my money back you chump. 5) Despite the smiles and handshakes that you will receive from the public who generally kiss your ass at every turn, various members of the community of Matthew Good messageboards, and a variety of others who make irrelevant posts on boards that aren't ; please realize that the majority of Canadians consider you to be quite an exceptional ass. Sincerely, Scot McCormack

I have all of their albums and I like Rock Action the most then Happy Songs for Happy People. I think Young team is probably their worst then followed by Come on Die Young.

Gotta love MGB. On a side note, I feel really sexy wearing my MGB Strikers long sleeve shirt.

That's tonight at 8pm on CBC.

everybody says it. we're doing it.

maybe it's because we're leading the rock revolution.

rock action is easily their best album. mmmmmmmm take me somewhere nice.

they're ok 6/10. although i prefer bands like portishead or mogwai. mogwai.

what should i call my full length album? i'm torn between bright light rock & roll review (a tribute to jesus) and thunderdogs (a tribute to thundercats). ahahahah. i'm bored of all this now. vote plz thx.
