"Fuck downloading and the idiots that look for any fucking rationalization they can so that they don’t have to call it stealing"
-mr. good


Dear Mister Good,

I used Kazza Last night to listen to a few of your songs. I'm an ass i know. but you know what i like your stuff and i went to the store to buy your wares but to no avail. I live in the sticks here in Texas, in fact they don't even know who you are, they're like:

Dude from store: "hey this guy's looking for Matthew's good's." (this got a few rousing laughs, none from me)

Me: "No it's Matthew Good, and the CD title is called Avalanche."

Dude: "Right, Hey it's matthew goody..."

Me: No Good, Good is his last name.

Dude: Really, ok. Matt Good.

Dude behind computer: "nah man, not in the computer"

other dude: Who's this Matthew goods guy? Never heard of him.

Me: ok, you don't have it, laters. *walked out*

this is my situation Matt, i'm surrounded by morons that listen to loud music without any real quality lyrics. Just loud crap like Korn and Iron Maden and Disturbed and well you know crap like that.

Now i know what your thinking....Yannic told me you might say something to this extent

Hey Lame ass, why don't you buy it off the internet? you fucking thieving bastard!


well Matt my Credit cards are all maxed out and to be perfectly honest i don't trust my account numbers on the internet. so this is my situation, and i know i can come to you because your Matthew "The Almighty" Good. get it done man, and i'll cut you a check...Paid to the order of Matthew "the Almighty" Good! i'm just telling you right now, if you don't cash/deposit it within 60 days, i'm gonna tell the bank to void it. so hurry your ass up and Cash it or deposit it or whatever the hell you do to checks paid to you. And get it out here...thanks.

Sinceramente, (<-- that's sincerely in spanish Matt)

Reno "The Reno Rican" Ruelas

P.S. Would it kill you to do a little tour in Texas or something? i mean c'mon man i know it's hot but your fucking Matt "the Almighty" Good. you can bear it, and maybe you can reach these bastards and their poor taste in music.

yeah this stems from a conversation with Yannic, so she's co-author. maybe someone can actually e-mail Matt this and see how pissed he'd get. :lol:

Yeah. You'd get a package with Avalanche in it. And it would be signed something like:

Here's your CD, smartass

so like does Matt Good get radio air time out there? cause personally i've never heard any of his stuff on the radio. then again, this radio station plays deftones and crap like that over and over again. i don't think they would ever play his music here, and that's why i can't find his CD here. i'm getting so pissed, i want this CD, and i'm gonna have to kick an ass or two to get a hold of it. well, that's what it looks like.

Toronto's 102.1 plays him a lot.

he gets decnet air play but that's because in canada we have CANCON wich makes it so radio stations have to play at least 50% (or something like that) canadian content.
