Emma, after talking with my husband I think we are seriously considering Montreal. His birthday is the 19th so we would come up on Friday with our kiddo and I would be going to the show solo. From your experience is it a huge crowd at this venue? What time would you think I would have to be in line to secure a spot up front?

A Wild Holy Band by Mike Scott. I would love to hear Matt's take on it.

The very first listen, I did a double take when born to kill came on and I thought it was Set Me on Fire from LOES. Still digging Suburbia. It is so different, It can't replace the original but I love the feel to it and I think it will be amazing live. Same goes for Let's Get It On.

I don't know but on MG's store it says they won't ship til January.

I can't find it in US iTunes either but it is on Spotify at the moment.

Wow. Suburbia, Born to Kill and Let's Get It On are amazing. The nods to the originals while adding in so much more, it really is quite something. It took me a minute to wrap my head around what is happening in Suburbia but I just love it. I hadn't listened to any previews or anything until today so it was all a wonderful surprise. I preordered the Vinyl last week and I ordered the CD today, as well as the classic mg black toque. Some of the merch is on sale right now in the online store if anyone is looking, there are some deals to be found.

That IS a nice looking venue. Maybe one of these tours when we have time for a longer trip, will definitely keep it in mind. I'd really like to do multiple shows but I don't think this is the tour I would aim to do that with.

Well we sure do love it when you are able to play Buffalo, but it's never anything I count on and can certainly understand the reasoning on those decisions. I always enjoy the little road trips through Ontario, and living up here again is a whole lot easier than flying in from across the country. AoD was the only tour I missed, just couldnt swing it at the time, and it was cool to have the live road recordings to see what I missed.

It has been mentioned to a venue owner / booking person that this tour is happening and the case has been pleaded to try to lure Matt to Buffalo. I doubt it would pan out but it happened during the AoD you so you never know.

That's good to hear, thanks! I'll be making the drive from Buffalo, NY. Since he stopped coming to the states, I've gotten to know several different cities around Ontario, it's always a fun little road trip.

So I'm going to make the trip for a show in Ontario. I like a GA type show so am looking at possibly London, but am open to other options. VIP is not something I absolutely have to have. Any info anyone has on the Ontario venues/cities would be greatly appreciated.

It's still there, just ran over here to post. I'm going to be checking the site daily now for sure.

I missed it also. Sadness.

What an embarrassment.

Happiest of Birthdays!

Google image the place for its concerts. Looks pretty sick to me. But I like wineries, so there's that. It's definitely a more relaxed vibe but I think it's worth it. It's an intimate setting and lots of banter (which, maybe also because of the wine haha)

I bet that's gonna be good, wish it were closer! I went to his solo acoustic at Jackson Triggs several years back and it was amazing.

MG, Jake Bugg, explosions, death cab, the hives... Shut up and take my money.

I saw this earlier today, and if all pans out I might try to make it. Looks like we will be moving back to the Buffalo area this summer (!!!) so would be a nice overnight or weekend trip.

So then there was all of this.

The fact that an entire song was missing from LOTGA, and I think some typos in the print. I would imagine they would be having some talks with the pressing company before giving them more work.

I would think they'd be wise to iron out all the issues on the first go around before releasing another lot.

You have to go look through the upload thread.

I like Sanders also. He really didn't do himself any favors with the term democratic socialism, but I'm hoping people start to listen a little better to what he's actually saying. I really don't care for Hillary. The idea of having a woman as president is exciting, but that doesn't mean I want it to be her. Her time has already passed, and I haven't heard any ideas for real change or policy improvements. I loved the idea of what Obamacare was supposed to be, but it never made it and needs to be fixed, in my opinion. Cruz is terrifying, and obviously Trump is right there with him. Rubio wants to unite the country under God (head desk), and Bush is still trying to figure out what tge hell is going on around him. I still don't understand what Ben Carson is doing there but it's amusing that he always looks stoned as hell.

I believe they may have lowered the post count to 45 or something like that, not sure though.
