Franz Beckenbauer. Actually iconic.

Phil Niblock

(whoops missed it on the previous page. RIP regardless)

Blazing "Ten Auras (Live)" this evening, and my very understanding husband is letting me do it.

Unconditionally loved in Germany for 50 years...then hated for 10 years...now suddenly loved again. Strange how death helps to mystify, mythologize, beatify and panegyrize a person.

Del Palmer. Former Kate Bush bassist/partner.

Missed this completely.

And now RIP Mary Weiss.




Her 2007 album Dangerous Game is pretty good too, and she may even have received some money from it.

Man, RIP Mary Weiss. I got to see her with the Reigning Sound as her band. It was a quartet version of the band with David Wayne Gay, Lance Wille, and Dave Amels on Organ. They had the old Oblivians energy but with added dynamics and a swinging rhythm. She was great and really lit up fronting a muscular,driving band.

I have always had a soft spot for the Shangri-Las story songs. "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" always plays out in my head like a technicolor Douglas-Sirk-if-he-ever-made-a-sweet-and-dour-female-lead-rebel-teen film.

She grew so lonely in the end
Angels picked her for a friend"

Yeah, my partner is a fan. Reddit rumors are saying it may have been fentanyl-laced cocaine accidental overdose. Be careful out there folks

Neil Kulkarni, and at just 51. An awful shame.
