Celebrity Deaths

lol, all of the songs linked so far are from more than 30 years ago, probably the worst kind of obituary a working musician can have.

 

You don't know what you are talking about. 

 

i don't think you understood what i was talking about.

incredibly Shane Macgowan lives

The Fall aren't The Rolling Stones. Some people may have posted older tracks but do a bit of research otherwise you sound like a tit.

I'm sort of irrationally bummed that the Teletubbies guy died, and in such an ugly way. At least it was the one I cared about the least as a kid

Yeah, I thought that earlier, he must have been 50 when he started Frasier, and Frasier was supposed to be 40ish

[Echolalia]

hardly a surprise, all musicians get shitter as they get older.,

Scott Walker? Michael Chapman? Robert Wyatt? Jah Wobble?

 

Alan Wilder grew older with Recoil and created a whole new genre.

yeah, them too (and I'm a big fan of Robert Wyatt, but he probably peaked with Rock Bottom - still good stuff after that, sure, but that was the pinnacle for me). everyone has a limited amount of inspiration in them it seems to me, some have more than others, but no-one has a limitless supply.

Tom Waits ages pretty nicely.

[chim]

What an utter tragedy, one of the greatest musical minds imo.
