Matthew Ryan should be famous
I don’t know why I ever go without listening to Matthew Ryan for more than a few days. While I don’t full appreciate 100% of his stuff, 90% of it is frickin’ great with at least 50% of it kicking the shite out of anyone else, anywhere.
Why am I saying this? Well I was trolling the Daytrotter archives (highly recommended) and decided to re-download the Matthew Ryan set from last September – as I just couldn’t find it in my iTunes. Did I not download it, did I miss it all together, did I simply delete it by accident? All options, and damn I am glad I re-downloaded it. Go and download it now it is a must have (although it all comes from one album except for “Misundercould”). That is the track I am including here, but make sure you head back over to Daytrotter, sign up (like you haven’t already) and get the remainder of the 3 tracks. While Daytrotter indicates the song is “unreleased” it actually appears on a bit of an underground release by Ryan called “From A Late Night High Rise” from a couple of years back. The album version has a bit more of a produced and rock sound, so this version from Daytrotter is truly fantastic in my books.
“Misundercould” – Matthew Ryan – from the Daytrotter Session, September 17th, 2008
Now go watch this as well and tell me why this guy isn’t famous?

Your right – Matthew Ryan is the real deal. Don’t you find that keeping up with so much great music is becoming harder and harder. I remember the days of carrying a little list in my wallet of bands to check out at my favorite indie record store (Down In the Valley in Mpls) Aaah, the Internet. It’s great – isn’t it? Anyway – Thanks for another great post.
