Thank you, Matt!


As some of you know, Matt has decided to end his Slicing Up Eyeballs site, and I just wanted to post a huge THANK YOU to him. I loved the site, and loved Matt's dedication to, and love of, the great alternative music of the 80s. He was one of the good guys, and his site will be sorely missed. Thank you so much for the love you always gave to CoF, and for carrying the torch for a genre of music that doesn't always get the coverage it deserves.

But Matt isn't really going away, as he plans to keep the Facebook and Twitter accounts going. Still, it's sad to see the death of a great site.

So I raise a glass in celebration, to Matt and SUE, and say Cheers! We all wish you the best of luck with whatever comes next.

    Serious, serious bummer, but sounds like it was tons of work to keep it sharp and hard to maintain that type of dedication to the degree it has. I'm sure Craig can relate, but please don't go anywhere!

      I'm not going anywhere for at least another year. I'm getting my full 20 years of CoF. :)

      I genuinely hope you (and we) get another Cure album while you're piloting this thing.

      Maybe a 20th anniversary gift, as they'd have to record it first! (4:14 was only a dream).

      And when you stop, Craig, what will become of Cure fandom? Let's come full circle and restart other-voices.

    Thank you, Craig, for the very kind words. I did not see this earlier, but it's much appreciated. And the feeling is mutual.

    Eyeballs will totally be missed. Craig and Matt's sites have been my only go to music sites for like...years. Will miss Mr. Sebastian. Craig, I couldn't stand losing you both in the same year. LOL. Glad you're here for a while longer :) Once you are gone...the Internet will be worthless.
