I would have no idea what to say to him...

It would probably end up sounding like such a typical "fan" and i would hate it.

i'm contemplating buying that big three disc set thingie of in a coma.
is it worth it for someone who's just sorta kinda on the edge of matthew good fandom?
i like his music, but i've only heard a lot of the mainstream stuff, and the only cd i have is beautiful midnight. i don't know if it'd be a better idea to get the multidisc version of in a coma, or just buy some of the older cds.
i need a recommendation.

hmmm hard call, i would say you would probably enjoy it because of all the music vids on it and the acoustic re-workings, hmmm i'm not sure though.

Holy shit, I'm glad I'm going to see him in a week...

I was doing an interview yesterday with the Winnipeg Sun and realized, after answering a question, that this may very well be the last tour that I ever do with this sort of band. That’s not to say that there might not be the odd one off in the future, but I really don’t see the point of continuing presenting material this way, especially if it doesn’t jive with new material. So you never know, this could just be the last time that you get to hear some of these songs live.

Load Me Up
Hello Time Bomb
Suburbia
The Rat Who Would Be King

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
