Scott Helman has been my favourite so far as well, but I feel he might'be gotten an unfair bias from me because I just ended up seeing so many of the shows lol. He's really talented though, I definitely enjoyed his sets and his EP. I actually leaned 2 of his songs (Machine and The Lion) to cover as well and have been playing them live at open mics. Machine is on my SoundCloud too. I will say though I also really enjoyed Mother Mother from '09. I actually just got to meet them last summer backstage at Bluesfest too. Gentlemen Husbands were all right too. But other than these 3, I don't remember too many other openers. To be honest, sometimes if it's assigned seating I don't show up for the opener. Ew and once at Bluesfest fairly recently, Matt was on before Great Big Sea. I won't say opener cause what the hell. But that crowd was super annoying cause a lot of them were just there for Great Big Sea, and were like "who's Matthew Good?". Lucky I got there before most those chumps and was right at the front. The camera guy kept putting me on the screens too haha. Some lady who had been saying how she had no idea who she was screamed for the set list after which was also annoying. And then, I left before Great Big Sea came on cause I just really don't like them. I think that's the only time I saw Matt and he wasn't the headliner.

Agreed! (Plus I already bought Scott Helman's ep on iTunes anyway) Pretty sure I probably received the best prize pack. ;) Absolutely. They're the best. Contemplating sending a thank you note to the PO box return address, but not sure if it actually goes anyway or not.

The prize was supposed to come with a copy of Chaotic Neutral and then also Scott Helman's EP. In place of Scott Helman's EP they seem to have included the sign Vancouver cd.

Prize came today!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did they indeed find me a Not So Private Banter poster, they also included a signed copy of Vancouver! I Team MG https://twitter.com/emmit643/status/687849558857089025

got your reply via eBay. thanks and please disregard above post

Yeah, I never used to understand that. Like when I was much younger I'd call in and request a song (usually something Matt Good) and they'd be like oh we can't play that one. Then I just stopped. Cause there was no point.

Gotcha. I miss X fm. That was a great station in Ottawa. Played a lot of MGB

Listen to the Edge online. They stream it live. I listen in Ottawa sometimes

I'm wondering if the Record Centre in Hintonburg would be getting them or not? Like do they mean big box stores like HMV, or smaller record stores? Cause if I could just straight buy them from our local retailer I would most likely pick up BM and HM.

hey, i bid on At Last There is Nothing Left to say. Was wondering, would you be willing to bundle it with the Arrows vinyl and just ship them together?

I mean, they also promoted it with the lyric video. So I think it's safe to say it was the second single.

Team MG is the best! So I reached out to ask about the prize package, and they said they were sending it as soon as possible, they were just trying to track me down a Not So Private Banter poster first!! Customer Service grade: A+++ Love ya team MG!

Yes!!! I really, really, really like this song a lot. I listened to it on repeat when it came out. I'm trying to get it on one of the playlists at the spin studio I go to. It just gets me so pumped up!! And I don't think I'll ever forget having Matt sing it right in front of me in Montreal. It was so awesome.

Yeah I'm sitting on whether or not to buy Beautiful Midnignt and Hospital Music...

I can't decide whether or not to bite the bullet and get them. I've got FOMO about it because I am also pretty convinced if I don't get them now, they'll go out of stock and then just be gone. Decisions, decisions.

That's interesting. Cause you won after me for the Toronto dates (dec 3 and 4) and I won for Ottawa on Nov 26... well, I'll just be patient a little while longer I guess, and then I'll message them again.

Hey, did anyone else who won a tour challenge prize receive theirs yet? I got the email for the download of Baldur's Gate and in the email it said the tour prize pack should already be on its way or something. But mine's not here yet (in Ottawa), not sure where it's shipping out from. The store said their not in charge of the prize packs when I was talking to them about my replacement sweater.

I generally found that smoking gave my voice access to a lower register...so it can change or add depth to your voice too. Although I've quit on and off several times. Currently I haven't smoked since before Christmas. But yeah, quitting is a personal choice. If you want to smoke, you smoke. If you don't, you don't. that's it. Sometimes I wanna smoke and I do, other times I just stop.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMF3D32328Q this guy just posted a bunch of videos from the show at Corona Theatre; I think he was up on the balcony. Good quality though, there's a bunch! Pretty sure I spotted myself there too lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVzeMwjUeUg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj_FT2hMDSk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h91B1GxgLHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyFZtRiJ1t0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eql_y_flWdc

I feel the same way. I don't hate anything really, but I don't have strong feelings for LOTGA. Like, I like everything else more.

As of late I've been the same way. I could listen to it over and over and over.

I feel like it's probably Exxon that he was mentioning. Though I do see that the original commenter wrote Eggson, and it is pronounced that way in the recording.

whoops, you're right I put Guns of Carolina's link twice. Here's Hello Time Bomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCqBcZP9cdc

yeah he's crazy good at guitar. he plays entirely by ear. I decided I'd go through the videos and find the other MG covers for you guys, in case you didn't want to sift through the 750 videos he recorded in 2015 lol Here's In a World Called Catastrophe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNsO_ADpLCo Alert Status Red: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6xJttjq6Hc usually when he does this one, he actually starts out with Weapon and leads into Alert. But for the video he just did Alert. Guns of Carolina (which he learned specifically for me. Back when there was no tabs/chords out for it and the album had just come out, he gave it a listen and wrote down the chords for me so I could play it. #waybetterearthanme ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuLSOZyEEr8 and finally Hello Time Bomb. Although he does sing "give me your love, i got me a love" ...but whatever I guess :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuLSOZyEEr8 Trying to get him on board to learn a few more

that's pretty close to what I would say. "Taco my shoe"
