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?
