there'll be no light tonight, if i'm fated...

i bought matt good's new cd 'in a coma' today.

i brought it home, took it into the spare room, turned out the lights, and listened to an accoustic version of 'primetime deliverance'. by the end of it, my cheeks were lined on either side with a streak each. i can't say what it is specifically about that song that takes me apart, but piece by piece i disconnect and suddenly all the reports that i've heard of people writing lyrics to his songs in sidewalk chalk all over vancouver become strangely reasonable.

and so, with all that in mind, i'm saving the algonquin picture project for tomorrow.

oops i almost forgot. buy 'in a coma' here

does it need to be Vancouver? Call me Australian, accuse me of never having heard of him before, but can it be Vancouver?

loving the acoustic generation X-Wing and the lo-fi Born to Kill, so raw, fits the song well...

hope you've got your tickets for one of the upcoming shows
