Universal released "Beautiful Midnight" and "Avalanche" in Australia but did absolutely nothing to promote them. I contacted the national youth broadcaster, JJJ, and they had a vague remeberance of something being released through Universal. I wonder what the bloody hell is going on otu here when I here s number of Canadian artists on JJJ, who I will not mention, but none are up to the standard of Matt Good. When will this injustice be rectified. Surely "Hospital Music" should be given a run here. It is just about as good as "Avalanche" in my opinion and that was quite possibly the greatest album I have ever heard since I bought my first album in 1971. Despite a lack of local interest, I will continue to push the Matt Good barrow to all and sundry who will lsiten.

I am still ordering the CD due to the sound limitations of 128k songs but I will certainly buy it on iTunes as well if it doesn't show up on the 31st. Congrats Matt!

Reading this news I just got chills of excitement on your behalf. "Reap what you sow", "What goes around comes around", "Karma" call it what you will. I just think it is awesome that with this album (one that you have documented as being very therapeutic and from the heart) all the pre-release hype shows signs of being one of your most successful. I hope that all us consumers here in the states can follow through with a great amount of support. I know that I, along with many of your fans, are very proud of you and the way you have grown and made it through some of the most difficult trials of your life and this album is a huge testament to the fact. In addition, I think we all feel as though we "know" you through your selfless efforts your willingness to share via this site. Even though 99% of us have never set foot in your presence or let alone helped contribute to your music we that come here to the site daily can in a way feel like part of this album (only b/c of your openess to fan inclusion). I thank you for who you are and greatly appreciate the opportunity you give to the masses to "vicariously live as Matthew Good". Just know that as you post the positive and negative news of your life and music there are thousands of us out here rooting for your ultimate success in life, not just musically! ~~~ "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

I've ordered my hard copy from my local music store and they promised I could pick it up July 31. $7.99 is a ridiculous price, but I suppose that way it is more accessible. Can't wait.

I already ordered the CD from amazon.ca - I think it was 13.98 or something and then 10 bucks to ship to my posh american residence (not!). So I have to pay more, but I like CD's. And I can never find Underdogs in stock, is it out of print? Awesome.
