Matthew Good - Hospital Music

[haircut-rabbit]

- I Am Not Safer Than A Bank

 

I'm reserving my copy the day it's available

I love the first minute in the demo!

How do you know the album track will be over a minute?

He did mention that it was "one of those pieces he was talking about" and that "pieces are NOT songs."

I'm looking forward to a more personl album, rather than a political one.

[Audio of Being]

I cannot wait for this to come out, I am really excited to see how the near 10 min track sounds.

[deremac]

I can't wait to hear this album. I am surprised that Cant get shot and breath of a nation are not on it. I would really love a better breath of a nation but I am so glad black helicopters is on it. In the end, I am glad that he didnt take too many of the demos cause we all wanna hear new material, and hopefully a bside album will come from it.

[shade]

I haven't listened to any of these demo's and shit. This album is going to be fresh for a chump like me...

[Shortcut To Moncton]

I haven't been to this site in months so this is all news to me.

[Moonlight_Graham]

I'm also upset that "If I Was a Tidal Wave" got cut ... Maybe Matt chickened out about releasing it because it is so political, as he mentioned once before he played it live.

Matt "chickening out" of releasing a song because it's too political seems VERY unlikely. Listen too "Pledge of Allegiance", "In A World Called Catastrophe", "21st Century Living", and almost the entire White Light Rock & Roll Review album.

 

He has his reasons for not including the song and I'm sure they're good ones.

well, i'm just repeating what Matt himself said about the song. listen to what he says about the song at the very beginning of this performance:

 

And yeah, a personal album will be great. He's been through a lot & it will be cool to hear him express it. But there will be political stuff of course, like Black Helicopter.

[haircut-rabbit]

I think he might have chosen Black Helicopter, rather than some of the other overtly political songs because it conveys a feeling of paranoia and the inability to trust anyone... issues Matt has admitted living with.

 

It really is a brilliant song.

[young37204]

I was sorta disappointed to hear If I Was A Tidal Wave wasn't on the track listing, but there's always hope for hidden tracks.

[Trademark]

Given songs like breath of a nation, if i was a tidal wave, andcan't get shotin the back were left off I wonder if an EP with the more poltical songs could be released?

[borntohula]

I'm looking forward to a more personl album, rather than a political one.

at the same time, with matt, its very difficult to distinguish between personal and political, because they're so closely related...

[WhatamNot]

Either way I'm getting it the first day listening to it and shitting myself well doing it..

laugh out loud.

[Some Random]

after watching the devil and daniel johnston, true love is my least favorite song on the new album by default. hopefully matt weaves some magic with it, but as of now, that song=yuck.

[AnOceanPearl]

I really enjoy that song.

[Shiri]

Listen to Beck's cover, it's much better in my opinion.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I actually really like the original version of True Love Will Find You In The End, it's probably my favorite Daniel Johnston song... There's a lot of his stuff that I really can't get into but he has some gems in his catalouge too.

 

The Beck cover is a really great cover, I like it almost as much as the original... Obviously technically speaking Beck's version is superior and it's generally really impressive regardless, but there's just something about Johnston's version that sounds so pure and sincere to me that's really overwhelming; I enjoy it more for that reason.

[AnOceanPearl]

That's what I've found about all of Johnston's stuff that I've heard. It's all just so sincere and truly heartfelt it's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of it all.

[Some Random]

i seem to remember william hung being sincere and heartfelt in his cover of "she bangs". not enough reason for me to dig it. to each their own. if you guys actually like johnston's stuff, whatever.

[malarky]

On his blog today Matt said that the record is finished and is going to be mastered sometime in April.

 

 

As I know almost nothing about record production could someone explain what mastering is?

[Crusader]

it's like photoshopping pictures to get rid of red eye

[malarky]

Oh, awesome.

 

thanks.

[WhatamNot]

You can photoshop CD's? GASP!

[Jay]

I've been out of the MG loop for a long time, so all of this track info is news to me and great news at that.

[marx marvelous]

MG should've covered "Story of an Artist" instead...
