Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Monday, 5 January 2026, is Vancouver (album).
Vancouver is the fourth studio album by Matthew Good, released on October 6, 2009.
The album is a concept album, critically reflecting on Good's hometown city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In particular, the album is influenced by the social issues in the city's Downtown Eastside and the extreme disparities of wealth between Vancouver neighbourhoods.
As Good had fulfilled his recording contract with Universal Music Canada with his previous 2007 release, Hospital Music, he re-signed with the record label in early 2009 upon beginning studio recording. Contributing artists on Vancouver include Peter Yorn, who sings backup vocals on the ninth track "The Vancouver National Anthem".
Vancouver won the award for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 2011 Juno Awards, making it the second time Good won the award, the first being in 2000 for Beautiful Midnight.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:09 UTC on Monday, 5 January 2026.
