As Deadmandeadman insists, live music is better - here is the live version of Avalanche, a tune which I posted on earlier. The intensity of Matthew has always bowled me over, and danmed if he doesn't have one serious Canadian following.

I had a Matt Good craving and I had to share - nothing too deep there One foot in front of the otherOne foot back to counter itDays like these you've got to find it in some other wayIt's all or nothing babyAvalanche, start inside of meAvalanche, down through the treesAvalanche, start inside of meAvalanche, hell down through the treesIf everyone's a casualtyThen take your time there ain't no tro...

Keeping Canadian, Matthew Good covering Josh RitterI love Matt GoodLike a good protest song, "A Girl in the War" infuses the unacknowledged threads of our national conversation with poetry. But it also gives voice to the righteous anger of those excluded from the discussions of policy and power brokering. As the song's worried lover declares to the political leaders, "If they can't find a way ...

matthew's pain is so evident in his vocal. beautiful but painful.Roger Waters is certainly appreciative. If you like any of Roger's (Pink Floyd) stuff, this is right there with it. Roger lost his dad and Matthew, well, he's lost a lot...

I've held off but hell. Matt is a personal indulgence and sharing usually does not come with personal. We are exceptionally tight and I appreciate him for his endurance.Powerful songOn nights like tonight when no one's aroundI put on the record, the record I foundWhen I was a kid and the world was a townAnd Heartbreaker weren't nothing painfulCarry me Mother Mary, I'm faithlessLike Sister Ther...

Sometimes the bleakness of life HAS to come through.Sometimes we need to find a place to let it dance it's dance and sing it's song.Don't matter if it's rightDon't matter if it's wrongThe Fine Art Of Falling ApartI walk alone and II ride alone and II rock myself to sleepBaby, there ain't enough room in this worldFor people like youAnd horrors like meA time of darknessThere lived a girl in a cav...

While I go over it in my headWalk through those doors and stand there staringAnd there ain't one soul that's in there deadMy hand stays out, I keep my headAnd walking out I see you sitting inthat Ford of your old man'sScratching your arms like your skin is crawlingBut done up the best you canFace first pilot through your windowThem Paupers they can't tellIt's strange to think we could have been...

Photo by Sarah on FlickrWhat does it mean to me to be Canadian? Everything I suppose. I love everything about this country from our pride, friendliness and tolerance to our varied climates from one end of our vast land to the other. Here are a few more things I love about my native land:I love how our ice tea is sweet and not just cold tea.I love Ceasars. As a child, I loved "The Friendly Giant...

I love Matthew Good. I think my ears are actually in love with the sounds of his musical catalog. Thanks to the unexpected reappearance of a long-lost friend yesterday, I started rooting around online and discovered that Senor Good actually had a new album come out last week, but I've been too maligned by work stress to acknowledge the outside work for a few weeks or so. Of course, knowing the ...

Every couple of years this Canadian troubadour (and blogger) arrives with an album that reminds me of why his songwriting has been so important to me for over ten years now.This new album, produced after a difficult divorce, is especially frank, and contains some of his darkest songs since "The Audio of Being," an album that caused the break-up of his own band.This stuff is earnest and heart-fe...

Whoa.Already I've been in this weird 'place' where the only things that sound right are favorite albums from the 90's (Candlebox's Lucy, anyone?), Matthew Good's Hospital Music and Radiohead's In Rainbows ... but now along comes news of Crash Pryor's passing, spinning my ears into a mess that only mournful music can sooth. I'm sure I'll put an MP3 here later. I just don't know what, and I don't...

What? Another Matt Good song? What is wrong with Barrie, you must be asking. No Mog posts in ages and then two about the same guy?!Well, Matt Good is rather unique in my music pantheon, someone who came along right at the beginning of my teenage years, whose songwriting has matured along with me. His songs always seem relevant to me, especially since they always change their context.So here is ...
