August 24, 20214 yr Damn. RIP Charlie. The cool one. A good interview from a few years back... Edited August 24, 20214 yr by blessingx
August 24, 20214 yr RIP Charlie.....was always a "mild" fan of the Stones, but what they have achieved is just incredible!
August 24, 20214 yr This is a bit of an odd one. Anyone who has listened to my radio show knows I'm not a huge fan of psytrance. With that said, I'm sad to find out about the passing of Olli Wisdom. He recorded a mass of albums and performed live as Space Tribe. In the early 80s Olli was part of the goth rock band Specimen and ran the Batcave nightclub. The club released a couple cassettes including one by the infamous industrial and proto power electronics act Whitehouse. Olli got in early on the UK acid house revolutions (which took place when he was the tender age of ...30) and was active as a DJ since the early 90s. I never met him, but I was aware of his presence and music for a good 25 years. In a scene full of revered egos and people with vastly inflated senses of self-importance, Olli was a very down to earth greatly respected individual. He was quite a character, too. There was a time when I'd have thought 63 was ancient and a ripe old age. Now it's "ulp, that's not that far off is it?"
August 30, 20214 yr RIP Tom T. Hall. It was last week but not mentioned before. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/08/21/arts/music/tom-t-hall-country-musics-storyteller-is-dead-at-85.amp.html
August 30, 20214 yr I saw him in concert. It was at a high school gym in Anchorage. The power went out in the middle of the concert. Was off for about 45 minutes. He told stories in the dark the whole time, then finished the concert when the power came back on. Best concert ever! RIP Tom.
September 6, 20214 yr Nooooooo! Michael K. Williams, Omar from The Wire, gone to what looks like an overdose. https://nypost.com/2021/09/06/actor-michael-k-williams-found-dead-in-nyc-apartment/
September 6, 20214 yr That really sucks! Omar and Chalky were amazing characters because of him. RIP MKW. 😢

September 14, 20214 yr This is a shitty copy of what I consider to be one of the best jokes of all time, and what I think about when I think of Norm.
