What's The Story With History Teacher?

[snap]

A friend of mine just recently burned me a copy of this double disc unreleased album. I really like it, but I hadn't heard of it before she told me about it. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it, like when it was recorded, why it wasn't released, etc...

Worthy?!?! Could you send that song to me? my email is [email protected]

 

 

CD1 tracks 1-8 is 15 hours on a september thursday

CD1 tracks 9-14 is euphony

and i've never heard of Worthy before, but Message to God was a song Matt did wit his first band, The Rochester Kings.

 

CD2 tracks 1-14 is Broken

CD2 15 - 19 is Left of Normal.

20 is another Rochester kings song, and

Coming Out in Purple is also from broken, but for whatever reason is the last song.

 

You can't buy them anywhere, but they are sent around the internet all the time.

Matthew Good recently found out that someone was selling copies of History Teacher over the net. He got extremely upset and now there may be some legal issues he's dealing with?? Anyways, History Teacher is awesome, but Matthew Good didn't release it for a reason.

[S.E. Hardy]

Worthy?!?! Could you send that song to me? my email is [email protected]

and could either of you email it to me s.e.hardy#@gmail.com ?????

 

(please?)

[ToadMan]

I wasn't release because it didn't exist. History Teacher is not an album. Matt had nothing to do with it's compilation. Some guy just got a hold of a bunch of old demo tapes, and made a CD of them. Then it was marketed as an unreleased album. All of the tracks are off various demo tapes that Matt has done over the years. But History Teacher is not an unreleased album, it is an illegal compilation of demo tracks.

 

Peace

s.e.hardy or s.e.hardy#?

 

i'm hoping that Snap will forward it to me, i've never heard it. I'll send it to you tho, if i get it ;)

[S.E. Hardy]

wow, I didn't even notice that, it's [email protected]. Thanks a lot insober ;)! I hate the idea that there are MG songs in the world that I haven't heard.

[Dan #2]

i know!!! Those three rochester kings songs. and those songs that may or may not exist, like Reliance, Should Have Been A Supervillian, and City of Millions. I've never even heard of worthy though. That scares me.

[WinstonSmith357]

I've heard he really dislikes these songs.

[S.E. Hardy]

Yeah, I think he does...But I *love* them. And a while ago, he did give permission to download them, so...

[ecnarf]

Yeah, I think he does...But I *love* them. And a while ago, he did give permission to download them, so...

I've read that it was requested on the MGB website some years ago that no buying/selling of HT occur, that people just download it/share it.

 

I've also heard that HT was originally sold on eBay by a former band member known as "history teacher", don't know if it's true.

 

Either way, I'd like to get my hands on it, but I can't find it, and I don't have any P2P, any advice?

[Dan #2]

bum songs off people. do you have an email with storage big enough for songs?

[ecnarf]

I've got a Hotmail account with 250 mb of storage, yeah. So, if anyone has any HT songs on them, care to send them to [email protected] ?

[Dan #2]

hey ecnarf, is there anything specific you need, or just anything?

 

send me a PM with whatever you need.

[homesickforspace]

look on p2p

[wentwj68]

well i'll join in on the fun. I have a majority of those songs, but worthy is one i don't have. If anyone wants to send worthy or any of hte rarer material they have i'll gladly accept it at [email protected]. Though i fear this thread could just turn into a laundry list of people giving their e-mails begging for songs... but i'm not to proud to beg.

[S.E. Hardy]

Usually, if enough people ask (and it won't directly piss off MG), Crusader will put a song up in the NF store.

[Jay]

wentwj68, I'll see if I can find "Worthy", and if I can, I'll try to send it to you. History Teacher songs are easily found on P2P programs, as well.

[Devil On Rollerskates]

I think Worthy is a song that was sung by a woman, Danielle French I believe. But Matt wrote the song.

[rmak]

do i need gmail to receive songs?

[ToadMan]

you just need an email service that can receive large files. Upgraded hotmail, and gmail will. Lot's of providers will bounce messages over 1mb.

 

Peace

[Kharmalina]

I would also like to request that you send me the song "Worthy"...

[email protected]

 

That'd be very excellent ;)

[Jay]

I'll see if either of my e-mail providers allows files that large to be sent. Of course, I lost my GMail info. PERFECT timing on that one.

 

Edit - Kharmilina, you should have the song in your inbox.

Edit 2 - wentwj98, so should you.
