So I guess he played the show in Boston tonight. My friend must be pleased. Now he must make it to New York for Tuesday!

That show last Oct 5th was my first Matt Good show and one that I will never forget. It was amazing. He was fucking ON that night.

Yes I hope there is at least one really good bootleg when all is said and done.

Haha...yes.

I'd consider flying to Toronto if I didn't already fly to Buffalo in October to see the solo acoustic show. I don't think I could legitimize another flight to people in my family. I also need to save some money. Ah well. I've been to Toronto. Cool city except for the ridiculous amount of homeless people and psychopaths. I'm from New York and even I was shocked at how crazy and weird Toronto was.

I had the flu when I was in 7th grade. It was the most sick I have ever been, bar none. I remember it hit me all of a sudden as I was watching some Nickelodeon on a Sunday afternoon. All of a sudden I got very cold and I couldn't move. I didn't even have the energy to make it halfway up the stairs. I was immobilized, had a fever, a cold, vomited constantly, lost my sense of taste and could barely fucking walk for over a week. Other nasty stuff happened as well. I missed a lot of school, but man I'd rather have gone. I was so fucking sick it was ridiculous. The flu is no joke!

I wonder out of all the demos he has released...which ones we will eventually see on the next album - if any.

I am getting worried that I'll wake up on Monday and find out that the Tuesday show will be cancelled. Hopefully he gets better. It already sucks that so many shows were cancelled...bah.

I'm a bit disappointed that the setlists have been a bit shorter for this leg of the tour, but...it just makes me happier that I went to Buffalo and got to hear Fine Art!

I'm not optimistic about him being available after the NYC show, but maybe I'm just TOTALLY WRONG. I hope I am wrong, because I want to get Hospital Music signed. I already got my picture with him in Buffalo (although part of my head was cut off...).

I strive for cool avatars! ;) Not surprisingly all my cool avatars have been related to FF7 -- teh bestest thing evar.

Hmm, I wonder what that's about... *Reads blog* Food poisoning...boo

I somehow ended up in DC when I was trying to fly back from the Buffalo show to NYC. Long story! ;)

I completely disagree. I didn't encounter any annoying drunks at the Oct 5th show, wasn't paying attention to any crashing dishes, and Matt was very interactive with the audience. The general admission setup + the bar made it fun and there was plenty of singing along with songs like Born Losers and Load Me Up -- something that would probably be less likely at many of the Canadian venues with seating. That kind of setup, while more intimate, is too spaced out and potentially less fun for my taste!

I probably won't get to any of these shows, which sucks ;) I doubt he'll play too many if any US dates with the full band, but that's me just being uninformed and pessimistic.

I'm crossing my fingers for some songs I didn't hear in Buffalo last October. It's Been A While Since I Was Your Man, Sort of a Protest Song, Indestructible, Bright End of Nowhere, Fated, Tripoli, and Advertising on Police Cars would be welcome among awesome additions to the New York City setlist.

At the Oct 5th show I sat in the parking lot for 6 hours because I had taken a flight to Buffalo from NYC. People didn't start lining up until like 5pm and the doors open at 7pm so you might want to keep that in mind -- considering it is general admission and the sooner you get in the better potential spot you'll get (in proximity to the stage I mean). I was basically the first person on line and got right up by the stage, which is how I got some great videos and pictures. I definitely do not regret waiting all that time outside because getting a good spot like that made the show much more memorable than if I had been somewhere in the middle of the crowd. I won't be at that show the next time around, but I will be at the NYC show, which is also general admission! ;)

I'm not listening to any more demos. I decided that if I had waited to hear Hospital Music when I got it in the mail for the first time it would have been 10x more awesome, so I will no longer go out of my way to find the demos that Matt puts up and I won't listen to streams on his site in the future. I will wait for the album and then try to find the stuff that didn't make the album afterwards so I don't ruin the surprise. But I hope people continue to enjoy the stuff he puts up. It'll make me more excited!

Sigh, fair enough. I'm sorry. I didn't really mean it that way at all anyway. It's over. Let's not discuss it anymore...

Makes me want to listen to White Light ;) It is true...about the war songs in the 60s...the connection with Bob Dylan and similar artists...I sometimes forget that music is a key way to get political messages out to audiences who often ignore such business. I myself am not very political...and to be honest if it weren't for Matt's blog I probably wouldn't intake any political information during my day...so it's doing me some good. *edit* Actually, looking through this thread. I see that I in particular made a reference to "Iraq songs" which was stupid comment on my part, but I didn't even remember saying it. I don't really have a problem with songs with that subject matter actually. Not at all. I like White Light/Black Helicopter/Silent Army in the Trees. Chalk it up to being a bad arguer and not being able to come up with another prominent point (I was trying to defend the subject matter of bad pennies). Oh well. I definitely admit that was a silly comment on my part. Didn't even mean it.

A fair response...that I happen to agree with at all points. Good job setting the record straight. Hopefully there won't be any more issues about this.

Like I said in the other thread, I'm not going to circulate them anymore. I thought it was fine the first couple of times, but with the number that have surfaced I don't really feel comfortable sending them out anymore. I'll keep em to myself. Sorry. *edit* I've taken down the existing uploads. Nobody will be getting any more demos from me. Don't bother sending PM messages. I don't want to get yelled at by Matt Good :angry: ;)

I suggest we stop circulating them, yes. I'll do my part. I thought it was ok the first couple of times, but with the number that have surfaced I don't feel comfortable sending PM's anymore. Sorry.

That's what I'm afraid will happen. I'm compelled to just disappear when these demos get posted from now on so I don't get in trouble.

maybe nobody ripped it. ever think of that ;)
