Vancouver Update

Space July 22, 2009, Matthew Good

 

For those of you who have been wondering what will be transpiring here on the website with regards to the run-up to the release of the new record, here’s a short timetable…

 

- The first single will be released to radio mid-August, which means that starting on that date you’ll be able to listen to it here on the website at your leisure 24-hours a day.

 

- On September 6th, one month from the official release date, the single will be replaced with the entire album, which you’ll be able to listen to from start to finish.

 

- Once the album preview begins, the website will feature links for those interested in purchasing limited edition vinyl and autographed copies of the record.

 

- Information regarding the sale of concert tickets will also be available during that time.

oooh nice. i'll try and buy us a vinyl or something so we can give it away on the site or something.

It looks like the album cover for Vancouver is on Matt's twitter page. http://twitter.com/mattgood Maybe someone knows how to capture it and post it here because I have no clue how to do it ;)

[Crusader]

Thanks, grabbed it.

So Matt just mentioned that the album comes out October 6th (which I'm guessing is a monday)...so let the countdown begin!!!

[Gomo]

He uploaded a video on facebook.

Oct 6th is a Tuesday, and I am pumped for a tour.

Matt made a comment on Facebook.

 

Matthew Good "Change of plans. website, tomorrow, 12 noon eastern standard time."

 

Tomorrow as in August 13th. Might be the streaming of the new single! ;)

[AnOceanPearl]

And by the 13th, you mean the 14th, yes?

[Gomo]

DERP.

From Matt's Facebook: Matthew Good Visit matthewgood.org today at 12 noon Eastern, 9am Pacific to hear the first single from the forthcoming record 'Vancouver' due out October 6.

[AnOceanPearl]

Last Parade. Sounds fucking awesome.

[Manchalivin]

Man, that kind of sucks. I'm glad there's some news and we got the new single but exactly what I had a slight concern for some reason might happen happened. I don't want to complain but I'm really REALLY disappointed Life In Spite Of Itself didn't make the album. I mean what the heck, I thought everything but Bad Pennies was gonna make it. I don't think this song needed to be cut at all and it was honestly one of my favourite demos. I really liked its addition after a few listens. Not to be a downer but that really sucks to me, unless it's a hidden track but I doubt it and why for? I can always listen to the demo but it's not the same. Hopefully he'll release a properly recorded version of it at some point though. Edit: I quickly realize why you don't snatch up all the demos you hear.

 

Anyways, (rant over), the single sounds good and it's quite a bit longer which I didn't expect. Last Parade seriously was one of the options for single in my opinion so I'm not at all surprised by the choice.

Anton, can you get Life In Spite of Itself in the NF store if it's not on Vancouver? I need to catch up on the demos that didn't make it to the album.

Very much agree

I'll certainly try to get it up there. Will have to see what MG says after Vancouver comes out. Where did it say that it's not coming out? Been doing exams for the last two weeks and hadn't had a chance to read ;).

[Computer]

[Crusader]

edit: i hope it ends up as a secret track :angry:

[Computer]

I've never even heard it ;)

[Manchalivin]

The tracklisting is up in the discography section of Matthew Good's site.

 

Edit: Nevermind, too late on that one.

I heard a few of the demos, but I don't think Life in Spite of Itself was one of them. I'd like to hear it after the fact if possible.

[Crusader]

i hope everyone enjoys this cheesy graphic for the front page.

 

 

i'm going to have to change it so the pictures stay up lol.

[kachapman89]

I would also like to hear Life Inspite of Itself, any chance of that getting popped up on the NF store?

 

It's the only song by him I've missed out on.

[Crusader]

MG said that life in spite of itself wasn't recorded in the studio so it'll likely end up in the nf store soon.

 

For those of you who don't know the lyrics: Life In Spite of Itself

[Gomo]

I think I may have heard this. I remember the lyrics and not liking it.

 

*shrug*

 

eh whatever. I'll buy it from the store when it's up.
