Christy Dignam has passed.

Say what you will but my old man playing Aslan in the car was instrumental in me getting into guitar music as a kid.

Couldn't stand them, and I don't have a lot of time for junkies in general, but I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. No way to go.

[Eoin McLove]

They had a couple of great tunes. His life was a horror story if I remember correctly, from sexual abuse to addiction. RIP.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, for someone with that life and that music, he seemed decent enough! Fought the cancer hard too, respect.

Cormac McCarthy. Have enjoyed all of his stuff I read.

[Eoin McLove]

No way. He was old as the hills. The two he put out last year were really good. RIP.

Sad to hear - Blood Meridian is a masterpiece, one of my all-time favourites.

Rick Froberg - Pitchfork/Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes/Obits died over the weekend. 55 years old.

Natural causes - sounds like a massive heart attack from what his missus posted online.

Pretty saddening. Along with Swami John Reis - he was involved in the creation of one of the most seminal albums of my teenage years - Drive Like Jehu's "Yank Crime".

Froberg had only posted on his Instagram (where he showed his artwork) about 3 weeks ago that Hot Snakes were nearly finished a new record.

I just watched a documentary that featured DLJ yesterday and was planning on checking them out properly. 55 is too young.
