I never met Matt in person, but I had talked to him for many, many years, first meeting on the internet. He was a fantastic writer and we often bonded over our music tastes. He will missed beyond measure and I hope with time, his passing will be easier to bare. May you rest in peace my friend, I will miss our conversations.
