Just Bought my tickets to see Matthew Good at Massey Hall in Toronto November 1st… Awesome Artist, if you have the chance to see him this tour… you should.

He’s the best thing to come out of Vancouver since… Gargantua!

Noooo, that’s not true!

That’s IMPOSSIBLE!

And what exactly are you listening to? Soft Jazz? and 90’s rap?

Maybe the Mario theme song on your Original NES?

Oh ya… so they must be weird too even though they sell out to the masses.

…and then there’s that Justin Beiber guy, he’s really weird.

[Gargantua]

Don’t make me Beiber Bomb this thread.  There are others here that barely survived the last time.

I was just joking, I haven’t even listened to his stuff.  Just never heard of him.

Funny you should mention it…one of my favorite bands (The Advantage) only does NES cover songs.

In my 6 CD player in my car currently:

Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon
Ratatat - Classics
The Samuel Jackson 5 - Easily Misunderstood
Misfits - Greatest Hits
Parlour (Louisville band) - forget the album title
The Advantage - The Advantage

Yup…You can keep them, and Celine Dion.

For the record Jerm,

Matthew Good is right up that socialistic, godless, pot smoking, liberalistic, and hopeless humanist point of view.

Which I suspect may appeal to you :) I honestly think you would considerably enjoy listening to Matthew Good.

Hey!  I’m not hopeless… ;)

I gave it a shot, some stuff was ok.  But he’s got a lot of singer/songwriter solo guitarist stuff that I just don’t dig.  There’s something fundamentally wrong with songs missing drums/percussion, but to each their own.

How about Jim Guthrie?  I like his stuff, and he’s a dirty Canuck.

(that song and all the others in the album were produced with just MTV Music Generator on PS1, but he also does the real thing)
