Damn, he was good in a lot of things.

88 years isn't too shabby. That's a life.

RIP

NO! What a fucking legend. Countless amazing roles and movies, but I did love him best as Hawkeye in M.A.S.H.

Rollins was a fan, for sure. His short-lived Infinite Zero label reissued some Contortions and James White & the Blacks LPs on CD in the mid-1990s.

I'd never made the Minutemen connection before (and Jesus, I've liked these records since the 80s), but it makes total sense. (Although I can't actually confirm Watt, Boon, or Hurley's enjoyment or Mr. Chance. But I'd bet on it.) That wiry guitar sound and integrating funk into punk before the idea become shitty.

Heartbroken to have learned that Chris Donohue of Antarctica and Ova Looven recently passed away. Both of those bands have meant an awful lot to me for a long time.

RIP dude from Crazy Town. You ruined the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ best song.

Yeah.. shit. I was pretty into those Antarctica records in the late 90s/early 00s (still am just.. don't know where those CDs went). RIP.

Shifty Shellshock will never give us The Gift of Game again.

RIP Shifty.
You filled my then 5-year-old son's heart with the novel joy of car-stero satelite-radio dial-spinning co-incidence through ubiquity while driving around the Olympic Peninsula in the summer of '22.

I found out the other day that Russ Morash (the guy responsible for all those PBS DIY shows) died. Sad.

That sucks. RIP. I was also into those Antarctica records. My buddy and I braved a brutal snow storm to see them at (I think) their first Chicago show at The Fireside. One of the other bands didnt make it, and I think counting the bands there were 9 people there. They still played great.
