Considering Matt Good and OLP are the only two concerts I've attended, I guess I should do a little comparison on their live performance.

After seeing OLP in the London show, I realised that this is essentially what a rock concert is suppose to be like, intense energy, lots of audience involvement and plenty of interaction from the band. This is really lacking from the Matt Good show I went to in May, there was no singing along moment, Matt Good was not half as active as Raine was (Raine ran down into the crowd of audience during "One Man Army", and climbed on top of a tower of amps during "Starseed"). The Matt Good show was focused on his voice and music, Matt's voice was exhilirating in live shows and that's the key point in his concerts. I guess it's fair to conclude that Matt Good fans can go really hardcore on other things, and that's caused by not just his music but also his persona he protrays. OLP fans can go insane during concerts, crowd surfing, moshing that is always found in OLP shows. After seeing the OLP show, I would actually call the Matt Good show a musical vocal based concert and not really a rock show. And after hearing "Weapon" and remembering how "House of Smoke and Mirrors" sound like, I'm assuming "Avalanche" will be the anti-thesis to "Gravity", which is a rock out album in it's most basic form.

These two bands will always be my favorite of all time, they may not be as great as Queen, Pink Floyd, Massive Attacks, Tool or U2 in terms of talent, but they do put out the most amazing shows in their ways.

Alright, listen.

I was browsing random 2nd hand cd stores today, and luckily I found a copy of "The Audio of Being" limited edition with lyric booklet, it was shrink-wrapped that means it was never opened. The price was reasonable so I decided to buy it, now I'm willing to offer this to any Matt Good (Band) fans who live outside of Canada and unable to hold a copy of it. Send me a private message with your name and address on it then I'll hook you up. I won't be charging you for the cd nor the shipping, I'm just doing this for fans out there.

To make things more fun, be as creative as you can in your message, just saying stuff like "I luv Matt Good! I was a fan since Matt was in fourth grade!!! Plzzz give me his cd I live in Siberia blah blah blah" just won't work.

And of course, don't just let me know that you registered just for the cd.
