A Couple of Old Songs from Matthew Bissett

While working away this morning, a song by my multi-talented friend Matthew (that’s him on the left, with sound engineer Mike Low) popped up in iTunes. A couple of years ago he recorded a bunch of his songs on an album called ‘I Wrote This For a Girl’. You may recall that a while back I cited his Civilization-inspired Gaelic romp The Night the Aztecs Stormed Glasgow.

Matthew’s away acting and directing in some small BC town, but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if I shared a couple more tunes:

All his songs, inevitably, are about a girl. He needs a MySpace page.

Not MySpace. Billy Bragg recently pulled a bunch of his songs because of MySpace’s licensing agreement wherein they get nonexclusive rights to reuse any content published therein for any reason and in perpetuity. I can’t find the link to the story, but I read it like two days ago :)

MySpace clarified their terms; it was lawyer speak that was kinda overreaching, but they’ve made their intent and limitations more clear.

And Bissett’s tunes are great!
