    @Canuck12:

    I really liked silent army in the trees.

    Reminded me of playing army men when I was a kid.

    …And playing AA now that I am an adult.

    Try singing along to the lyrics…. you may appriciate it more.

    My sister was an extra in his apparitions music video.

    I loved that music video.It was my first time hearing any song by MG.

    I was watching the video for “everything is automatic” way back in 95, and I was waiting for the credit to see you sang it, because I liked the song a lot. when the display read “The Matthew Good Band” I remember cringing at such an awful name for a band …… now he’s my favorite artist.

    Yeah, there is a little back story about the name of the band. Apparently the band had always intended to go to a member-neutral name but hadn’t got around to it by the time Last of the Ghetto Astronauts caught on nationally. I remember hearing an interview where Matt said at that point “You don’t look a gift-horse in the mouth.” They stuck with the name and apparently the ensuing ego-battle between members is part of what contributed to the eventual break up.

    Originality of the name aside. I think history has shown that the name wasn’t exactly misrepresentative of the driving force behind the group. The best thing any of the former members could do afterwards was when Dave Genn joined 54-40 to fill in for  Phil Comparelli.

    Also, I listened to silent army in the trees again. Heavy stuff….

    considering who had all the talent in the group, ya…… it was the right name.

    Oh ya… so they must be weird too even though they sell out to the masses.

    …and then there’s that Justin Beiber guy, he’s really weird.

    Don’t make me Beiber Bomb this thread.  There are others here that barely survived the last time.

    I was just joking, I haven’t even listened to his stuff.  Just never heard of him.

    Funny you should mention it…one of my favorite bands (The Advantage) only does NES cover songs.

    In my 6 CD player in my car currently:

    Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon
    Ratatat - Classics
    The Samuel Jackson 5 - Easily Misunderstood
    Misfits - Greatest Hits
    Parlour (Louisville band) - forget the album title
    The Advantage - The Advantage

    Yup…You can keep them, and Celine Dion.

    For the record Jerm,

    Matthew Good is right up that socialistic, godless, pot smoking, liberalistic, and hopeless humanist point of view.

    Which I suspect may appeal to you :) I honestly think you would considerably enjoy listening to Matthew Good.

    Hey!  I’m not hopeless… ;)

    I gave it a shot, some stuff was ok.  But he’s got a lot of singer/songwriter solo guitarist stuff that I just don’t dig.  There’s something fundamentally wrong with songs missing drums/percussion, but to each their own.

    How about Jim Guthrie?  I like his stuff, and he’s a dirty Canuck.

    (that song and all the others in the album were produced with just MTV Music Generator on PS1, but he also does the real thing)
