the workproject is basically moved to Jackpillowhead now... It started yesterday. If you go to links, then Jack pillow head you'll see the new "workproject" with matt posting as jack pillowhead.

What is the Work Project, exactly? (new fan trying to catch up, heh)
Posted: 12/21/2004, 7:55 pm
It was going to be a place where any art related stuff would be posted by him, or some other contributors, whether it was poetry/prose, lyrics, video, and music. Matt wanted his homepage to be less about the music and more about him (which is understandable, since it probably would get annoying to constantly have people expecting him to update a "music" related site) so he decided he would develop theworkproject site as a site for his music, and basically a site he could fool around with in regards to layout and whatnot since he was changing the layout of his official site very often, and nearly lost a lot of his entries doing so.
So theworkproject is basically now Jack Pillowhead. I'm not sure why he's changed it. He doesn't give reasons for these things.
The thing about Matt is that he really doesn't like being only associated with his music. It's a hard thing to do when you're one of a country's leading musicians, but it's understandable considering he's never had ambition to "be popular."
My girlfriend had the luxury of chatting with him after a show back in September. It was just a one on one chat for about 15 mins and they didn't even talk about music. I think in a way Matt wishes it was more like that. He performs for a couple hours in front of people and then afterwards he's just your average guy, not some "rock and roll" star that only has music on the brain.
It's awesome that you're getting into matt, Rob. I used to hate him back in the Beautiful midnight days, mostly because of the supposed OLP/MGB feud, plus I don't think i was mature enough to listen to him. Then once avalanche came out I thought "ok, I'm a fan of Matt good the artist, not the band."But after hearing Avalanche I though, you know, let's check out MGB...Now I'm hooked and can honestly say Matt's become my favourite artist. It's like there's this honest connection. You don't feel like he's bigger than life just because he's on the radio, which is definitely the feeling I get about OLP.
wow that was kinda long haha oh well.

Woo Jason sent me the Ryan and Matt video 
The work project is going to be taken down soon so if there's anything there you'd like to keep then go and save it now! I've got all the end of the year album reviews saved to read at my leisure and hopefully make some great purchases.
As far as the jackpillowhead thing. Matt orginally started it out as a semi-private creative blog but that probably only lasted a week or two before he decided to add a link to it on mg.org and make it public. I found it was up and running again last night just by looking at Dan or Paul's blogger profile so he's not keeping it too well hidden. I figure it's only a matter of time before he's talking about it on his main site again!

"Uncle Matt" just seems like such an all around great guy.
I love that line...
Matt: You're not going to answer that, are you?
Nephew: You told me not to listen to her.
That sounds like something my older cousin would have gotten me to do.

New demo from the work project on JPH.
Kinda cool. Very different though - not what you'd expect.
(now a MG blog reader, if you couldn't tell)

I'm liking the demo a lot and yeah, it's definitely very different but it's always nice to hear Matt trying out new things.
Posted: 12/24/2004, 3:37 pm
yaaah i heard it too and i liked it a lot

What happened on Matt's Blog? He's taken off comments. Apparently something related to more jackasses threatening him and/or others.
Did anyone read what happened before he took comments off?

the taking-off comment thing has been happening on and off and on and off. :/
Posted: 12/28/2004, 7:08 pm
Yep. I commented only a few days ago, but he's always getting inundated with right wing crap, so.
Posted: 12/28/2004, 7:47 pm
Um... It's not "right wing crap". It's people threatening to harm/kill him.
Posted: 12/28/2004, 7:58 pm
New news:
That kind of sucks. I would assume that everyone could still read it, but I'd like to be able to comment when I want. Then again, this may be something I'd actually pay for, depending on the fee...

Technical Assistance Required
If anyone out there would be able to offer information regarding how to set up a membership platform for this blog, I would be interested. Ultimately, I would like those who wish to participate to pay a small annual fee to become members of the site. The revenue would go towards keeping the site up and running, with the excess being donated to charity. If anyone out there has any knowledge or information about such a function, please feel free to e-mail me.

And why are they threatening to harm and kill him?
Right Wing Crap.
He's posted letters and commented on what others have said before, some of it is quite scary.
