On Sunday night the producer of the video for "Weapon", Rachel Kohm, passed away in her sleep due to complications from type 1 diabetes. She was 28 years old.


Oh. wow. She was so terribly young.

"A Night Opus" is frickin' awesome. I just read it, and that song makes absolute sense now. Matt is an AWESOME writer.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I have Loser Anthems.... you can find The Man from Harold Wood at the end of Flashdance II. It's the piano at the end with the soccer chants. My Life as a circus clown is amazing. and M. Good vs. M. Trolley is just a lil thing where Matt is trying to play a piece on the piano and is having trouble with it and thinks it's impossible to play.

Loser anthems is probably his best work as MGB (even though the album was mostly just him, so you can see how he became inspired to go solo, as the creativity is amazing)

Track listing is up in the news section of his website. He's put all the tracks together in one long sentence so you have to try and figure them out, but it's fairly easy. If I had time right now I'd type them out, but it seems like there are still more to come.
