Did you guys hear that free tune that was given away on a radio station website (maybe somewhere else, too) in the last year or so?
It's called "Queen of Portland Street" and I love it.
Hope Matt gets something new out soon.

Love Matt Mays! It was actually Juliet from the old dot org who made the recco to me (and also heartily backed up by Allie).

The free mp3 comes when you sign up for Matt's newsletter. The exact same sign-up/mp3 deal that was on the radio site is also on Matt's site, and you can hear it here before signing up and downloading.
And here's a live version for good measure (though I prefer the studio one):

Looking at that video I was waiting for Billy Bob Thornton to break in to babble obscure and stupid shit.

I heard this and love it! Allie let me know about it on my Facebook page. If you're reading this Allie, thanks for the Leeroy Stagger cd. Sorry I haven't sent your cd yet. I'm broke but am getting paid this weekend so I'll send it out next week!

His new album Coyote came out today. I just checked out the clips on iTunes and it sounds as great as I thought it would. This guy never disappoints me.

It's a great album, been listening to it repeatedly today and I love it more with each listen. Same here, he's never disappointed me since I first heard him opening for Blue Rodeo way back when!!

I just didn't get into it as much... a little too old style country for my taste... I like his solo and El Torpedo stuff much more.

Been listening again to the new album while working all morning and I must say, download LOVELESS if nothing else. It's just a beautiful song... you know, one of those make me swoon kinda songs. I think I like the demo version the most but both are killer. Buy it... do it! :)
