A few random bits to start with today prior to delving into the Petreaus-Crocker debacle. First, congrats to my friend Claire Folwer who wrote her first blog entry in a year yesterday – for The Guardian. Second, a rather shocking occurrence in which a girl was assaulted while it was videotaped… Regarding The Recently Announced Calgary Date I realize [...]

First, this website couldn’t run without the efforts of Dale Mugford. Second, his immense talents have, over the last year, made matthewgood.org more than I would have ever thought possible. But I don’t need to sit here and tell all of you how much work he puts into it or how talented he is – [...]

It’s over. Having come to the conclusion that music is a dead end proposition, me and a few other musicians have decided to join the internet-porn revolution, which isn’t actually a revolution given that it’s been the foremost purpose of the internet for years. As some of you are aware, I have broached this subject [...]

Everyone at matthewgood.org would like to congratulate Pete and Karen Siller on the arrival of their first child, Mekena Rachel Siller. Pete has been Matt’s lighting technician for years, and this happy news is shared by everyone involved with Matthew, from management to the rest of the crew. Congratulations Mom and Dad!

Today is my best friend’s 40th birthday. I’ll not launch into a massive accounting of why Rod is my best friend, as many of the reasons are ones that remain between he and I alone, and that are, in truth, almost impossible to explain. We have, over the last two years, traveled the paths of [...]

I wanted to quickly send out my thoughts and best wishes to my old neighbour Beth, better known to most of you as Bif Naked, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Beth’s a tough lady, and I’m sure that she’ll face this with the same fortitude that she has displayed throughout her career. Again, [...]

3:16 AM, raining again, maybe a gunshot in the distance, sirens a few blocks away. The sound of shopping-cart wheels click on the sidewalk below my window, stopping every twenty feet or so probably so that a garbage bin can be rummaged through. The ironic sound of a street cleaner hums below the din of [...]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (otherwise known as Santa Monica), it was in the dining room at a friend’s house that I found out that the Matthew Good Band had won two Junos. I was, as many of you know, not at the awards show to accept them. The year was [...]

At around 40,000 feet, currently drifting somewhere over the Canadian Rocky Mountains, there exists a very tired and slightly buzzed hobbit named Dale. Rebecca and I just got back from dropping Dale off at Vancouver International Airport, and we had about an hour to listen to his thoughts on the tour, his time away [...]

When I was out in Toronto for Matt’s Massey Hall show, it was suggested that perhaps I could start contributing an entry over two over here. So, without further ado, here goes. First let me say that I consider it a pretty big honour to be able to lend my voice to those [...]
