Match-up #62 - Poets Vs. Emperor Penguin
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

I know that there's been a recent Matt Good thread, but the search feature seems to be acting up.

Anyways, the tour kicks off this week, and I am damn excited! I was going to make the trek to Fredericton to catch the show there, and I was also considering going to Halifax instead. That is, until last week when they announced a Saint John show at the ever so tiny "Elwood's Bar" in Saint John! Apparently, 250 tickets were printed, and the number on my ticket is #227!

I can't wait to see The Spades, either! Last time they were through the Maritimes, it didn't work out that I could catch them. This should be a great double bill.

The tour dates can be found here:

Last summer's Hospital Music is one of my favourite albums of 2007.
One week from today, in a hole-in-the-wall bar! I'm stoked!!!

Hello everyone!

I'm new here. I'm looking for a video of the Hip concert in Montreal where they played their unreleased song "Montreal" (December 7, 2000). I understand that there is a two-disc DVD of that show in circulation and it was suggested that I post here to see if anyone might be able to provide it for me to download. I'm not sure what I can offer in return, but I should be able to find something that you would want.

Thanks!
Cara

*my apologies on the mixed up matchup. I had misplaced a cell in my ultimate spreadsheet. One error in two years of conducting the tournament isn't too bad is it?
