Vancouver Megathread

[Manchalivin]

Are you hearing the finished product? If so, how does Matt know it will be recorded by then? Or what is the deal with this? I don't get it.

Why don't you just move in while you're at it ! (I'm only jealous)

[Gomo]

hahaha.

 

yeah I can't believe he'd be done in 3 weeks, even though he finished Hospital Music fairly quickly. The Vancouver songs sounded like they'd be kind of complex.

 

Shit, it took me a month and a half to finish a song I was working on recently. But then I'm sure I'd be done faster if I was a PRO!!! ;)

I have no idea right now. That's up to Matthew; he'll sort something. The thing is, as I am travelling from the UK I couldn't make it last year, so the deal was that I come over in January; I have no clue what's in store. And that's what's so exciting, really. ;)

[Who]

What's your link with the singer anyway? ;)

[Gomo]

She was the winning bidder in a charity thing. So she gets to go and listen to the demos and hang out with Matt Good.

I too am desperately Jealous Jane. But wish you safe journey and great enjoyment as well.

 

And be sure to bring us back much information please.

Oh I see...

 

I don't remember the contest but congratulations Jane!

[Gomo]

I don't think it was considered "contest" technically.

We met in Kingston and are friends now.

it looks like pete yorn should be recording with mg.

[AnOceanPearl]

It looks like "Great Whales of the Sea" may just make it onto the album.

[Crusader]

lol way to post before i updated the news. but yeah, matt's german accent totally sounds like a bad indian accent.

 

glad to see whales made it.

[AnOceanPearl]

I like being the first on the ball sometimes.

 

I'm excited to see that it's recorded, but we still have to see if it actually makes the final cut of the album. If it doesn't, I hope he does release it like he did with "Can't Get Shot...."

[Crusader]

on another note, dale sent me a little something they recorded for hospital music but i haven't been able to post it yet. 23 more pages of reading and it'll be up for download.

[AnOceanPearl]

I wait with bated breath.

 

And by wait I mean "I have to clean up the place because my girlfriend is flying home and I have dishes and laundry and animal cages and a bedroom that need to be cleaned and then I'll check after."

[daniel_v]

it looks like pete yorn should be recording with mg.

 

This may sound like a dumb question but are we sure he's wasn't just talking about Pete from his tour band and not Pete Yorn? I mean Pete did do backing vocals for the tour so I just originally assumed he was talking about him.

[Crusader]

it's pete yorn. flying in from california.

 

edit: check his twitter ;)

[Champion Of Nothing]

here's proof that great whales of the sea will be on vancouver.

What's the point of having b-sides if all the songs are ON the record! ;)

[Gomo]

b-sides are fun. some of the best songs I've heard from an artist are b-sides.

Matt posted a blog today saying "Track 11, the track that didn't make it" (which is just a light hearted joke song).

 

There were 11 demos, which would lead me to believe that one of them was cut out, leaving us with a 10 song album and one of the demos potentially scrapped.

 

Thoughts?

 

Could mean nothing at all.

I think you're just reading too much into it. Matt showcased 11 songs on the blog (Last Parade, Vancouver National Anthem, Boy Who Could Explode, Us Remains Impossible, On Nights Like Tonight, Volcanoes, Silent Army, Fought to Fight it, Empty's Theme Park, Life in Spite of Itself and Great Whales), but only confirmed the first nine to be on the album. With the bad German accent version of Great Whales showing up on the blog, and him later commenting that he only goes into the studio with material that will be on the album, it appears that he had originally planned on the nine track album and added Great Whales.

 

And now, I am reading far too much into it ;)
