That Matt Good Music - The Blog/Tumblr Thing

I am a musician, I do the music stuff. Occasionally I'll post something which isn't just reblogged vaguely funny stuff, honest. #MaybeAesthetic

Going to shows more often is cool - this week it was @munciegirls showing me a good time 🔥🔥🔥 Support acts @thehardaches and Shackleford were awesome too! . . #live #music #munciegirls #fixedideals #birminghampromoters #thecubanembassy (at The Cuban Embassy - Bulls Head) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUIRiJgYoL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u9embb95mab9

My phone gig photos suck but #tbwednesday to seeing @skatingpolly at my fave venue a bit ago. Actually can't get the album out my car - too lit 🔥🔥🔥#gig #live #hareandhounds #music #uglypop (at Hare & Hounds Kings Heath) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNF--Lg_GE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ebgpoljiwxmg

Got the @sad13 solo album on CD - such a great album and I love the art style that Sadie puts on both this and Speedy Ortiz album arts. #music #alternative #indierock #altpop #LessthanTwoIsaBop https://www.instagram.com/p/BnvpiW5HBCg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wfl8lga7rxiv

My Grandad was a special, fascinating person. . . Been going through old family photos from my Dad's side recently, and seeing my Granny and Grandad when they were young and all my other family from my Dad's side is really interesting. From what I know Grandad was really well travelled (with his job) and had a lot of really interesting stories from way back when. The most I hear of them now is through Granny, but I wish I had been able to hear more of them first hand. There's no specific reason to bring up my Grandad on this day, but he came to me in a dream last night - the significance of which I don't know, but I feel like it's deliberate. Perhaps it's to remind me to keep enjoying life, and to find a way to see more and experience things to the fullest - to keep up being a musician, as "it's the joy in playing". Or maybe I'm just self reflecting too much, who knows. Anyway, if you've read all that or not - tl;dr, my Grandad was pretty cool. . #grandad #family #music #legendsneverdie #hewasalovelyman https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhQrlAnZOi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a9rt7avq7g33

Took this for my Insta story but how the fuck did I frame something this well completely by accident https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRQgNWHcBx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eywnpcfok5wp

New guitar hype, @polyvinylrecords x @annaisaburch merch hype, pre gig hype. Here's some pics of me being a bit doopy. 🎸🔥➕ . . . #fendermustang #iheartpolyvinyl #gig https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJojfeHxHs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jp37eivda5xo

Saw @annaisaburch again tonight because it was pure 🔥🔥🔥 the first time. Also bought big disc because it's a fave album now. Definitely going to have to check out @girlrayband now too since two of them slayed as Anna's band. New song at the end of the set was really cool too. Good evening with @conorbailie all in all :) #live #gig #leicester #themusician #quitthecurse (at The Musician Pub)

I love CDs. This latest one from #speedyortiz (@sad13) is absolutely amazing, and it's probably my favourite album of 2018 so far? I've been listening to it constantly in the car, one of many of a large CD collection in the car. Ever since I was young I've associated car journeys with CDs and listening to albums on the way to various activities, events and holidays with my parents. From Sheryl Crow on holiday, to Franz Ferdinand driving to the library, to RAM by Paul McCartney on the way to a friend's house, putting a disc on in the car has always been a big part of going places and my musical upbringing. And I'm still discovering great new music by listening in the car on the way to work, as I have done with the Speedy Ortiz discography recently. (This post is also a sorry to anyone who has tried to ride shotgun but has to wait a solid minute for me to put my current most played away) #cds #music #physicalformats #sentimental #mess

Did some shreds today with @robertbarnettmusic - cooking something noice #music #pedalboard (at Rugby, Warwickshire)

[mattgoodmusic]

May have been a crappy day but this lot from one of my fave bands cheered me right up! @gr8_grandpa 's Can Opener EP, wicked shirt and a lil pin. @slothfella @bigbadpickleboy #greatgrandpa #seattle #vinyl #record #cactus (at Rugby, Warwickshire)

Still reeling from last night's @annaisaburch gig - had a really great time. Tight live show that reflected the album really well, and was lovely to meet her afterwards for a little chat. Hatchie was a fantastic support act too, really enjoyed her set. Already looking forward to the Leicester gig in July, been listening to the album on repeat since I left the venue! Yet another great artist I've discovered thanks to @polyvinylrecords #music #live #gig #quitthecurse #annaburch #polyvinyl #teasoakedletter (at Hare & Hounds Kings Heath)

Saw grunge Lennon and his pals in @demob_happy tonight at the Flapper in Birmingham, such a sick #gig, really nice guys too :) support bands were both really cool - will be looking them up soon. Caught a good vid of my fave moment of one of the songs - brutal lurching slowdown into a riff \m/ #live #music #holydoom #Iwannaleave (at The Flapper)

[mattgoodmusic]

In my top 3 albums of last year next to @grandaddymusic and @gr8_grandpa - possibly the most fun album I own. I love it. Would love to see them live soon. (@charlybliss nudge nudge wink wink) If you haven't heard this already you need to, required listening. #guppy #charlybliss #altrock #vinyl (at Rugby, Warwickshire)

At home shredding one of my fave @gr8_grandpa riffs before a gig tonight! Love this band. Mex Strat into Fulltone OCD into Egnater Tweaker 40 is one hell of a rig. #greatgrandpa #plasticcough #egnater #fulltone #shreditbro #riffwars #guitarcover

Retro vibes today with @trelationship Def doing a fave albums of 2017 video before the year ends. So many great ones. #claraobscura #vinyl #2017
