Celebrity Deaths

Didn't he sing the theme to Blossom?

Had a friend tell me he has cancer on a facebook message. (since died) There is nothing you can say without making them feel dead already.  They withdraw from the world. Told him my basement flooded , he said there was too much rain there too and a week later he was dead. Down side of having a penchant for older friends, they die on you.

Tom Petty died a couple years back.

I forgot and was reminded of it the other day by a podcast my friend downloaded.  Thought I should mention it here in case anyone else forgot.  Plus the celebrity death rate seems to have slowed in recent months.  So I'm trying to keep this thread alive.

I also forgot how morbid this video was.  Prob the first Tom Petty song I ever heard.

The mid 90's had a lot of weird/gross music vids, lots of medical/deformity/corpse themes.  So this one fit in well with the era.  RIP Tom Petty.

Acid house pioneer Derrick Harris (Sleezy D) has died, with no money for funeral expenses.  Gofundme campaign the cover the costs:

That one hit hard, up there with Bowie. His death really resonated with me and a lot of people I know, really caught a lot of people off guard how much they realized we heralded and appreciated him as a person. Sincere, down-to-earth, and never seemed to abandon who he was - just some friendly redneck kid from Florida wanting to make good rock n' roll. And goddamn, what a catalog. Even his posthumous stuff is amazing:

vaporwave song I came across a couple weeks ago

He's still around...

Really sad about this, I was definitely more of a Cassius fan than a Daft Punk fan.

New album is out on Friday called "Dreams" which I had on pre-order.  Hope he was not celebrating

I read he had a hand in the recent Hot Chip album too, seems he was rather prolific in the studio production side of things.

Schlitze, I usually give you a pass cos I actually appreciate most of your trolling, but fuck off m8, you're out of your element. Bourdain was a big deal because he introduced millions of fat, closed-minded Americans to parts of the world they never knew existed, and that's just what 40% of us need direly right now.

RIP boobs tho
