What is a "piloe?" Is that some fancy Canadian snack, like poutine?

Matthew Good RULES.

I remember when they finally released Beautiful Midnight here in the States... and the record company totally ruined the flow of the album by throwing in songs off of Underdogs.

If the band didn't self-destruct, they could have been huge here. His solo stuff is really good, too, but I still prefer MGB.

Mathew Good is a pretentious douchebag. And canadian music sucks.

No. We had U to words, not O.

The only good thing about Matthew Good is the name. That he's not getting the attention he believe he deserves is no surprise. He didn't seem to have any issue when he was being lauded by the Junos for his commercial success. He was egotistical then, why change now. I guess that's the tragedy of being a one hit wonder.

As a CARAS member, I had the privilege of being able to vote against three out of the five Nickelback Junos, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I was showing my dad how to download music the last time I visited. A few days later I get a phone call about a failed hash check. Apparently my dad was talking to some kid at his work about music downloads and what 'teh kidz are all listening to these days.' So when my dad gets home he tries to download Nickelback, and it fails a hash check. I said, "That's god warning you not to bring Nickleback into the house." Then I hung up on him.

I only called him back after sufficient time had passed. "What did I do to make my own son hang up on me?" I love my father very much, but you have to set boundaries. Show them some guidance.

I was just taking the piss. Actually I quite like canadian music. I used to dig the early canaidna punk scene. DOA, SNFU, and Slow were pretty cool back in the day. I think Skinny Puppy was canadian too.

Mathew Good is still a douchebag.

His latest album Hospital Music sold over 100,000 in Canada in its first week and debuted at #1. It also debuted at #17 on the American ITunes charts despite having no label affiliation down there. And Born Losers was the single of the week in July sometime.
Underdogs and Beautiful Midnight were both huge sellers in Canada too. He's anything but a 1 hit wonder.

Yeah, our music awards shows suck but at least we still have Rita McNeil.

Their first album wasn't half bad. And neither was Clumsy from Our Lady Peace. I think they're good sounding albums -- same producer.

Everything after those two albums from either artist is not my cup of tea but they were both cool when they were released.

as a 2-time JUNO nominee, I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

I can rant about the JUNOs, but i won't. Our nominations made a difference for us (non-mainstream, non-televised category).

Matthew Good, on the other hand is stuck in categories that are sales based, and therefore rely on advertising and promotion $$ from the record company, and should be called 'who spent the most money promoting their album to gullible teens'.

Good music doesn't enter into the televised portion of the JUNOs.
