I wish I'd got my act together earlier this year to get up to L'pool for his 50-year-delayed inaugural mass for Paddy's Wigwam. Currently blasting Prismes from Kyldex on YT (where can I get an LP of this, I wonder?).

RIP.

I'd put money on a Pierre Henry soundtrack to the end credits of this evening's Tour de France highlights programme on ITV4.

Liu had been locked up by the Chinese for 11 years. A German and an American doctor who recently visited and examined him in a hospital in the north-eastern city of Shenyang both said he would be able to travel abroad.

But Chinese medical experts insisted that he was too ill to travel

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/14/arts/music/obituary-ray-phiri-dead-graceland-guitarist-stimela.html?hpw&rref=obituaries&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0

Ray Phiri, the South African guitarist who reached an international audience backing Paul Simon on the albums “Graceland” and “The Rhythm of the Saints” and who founded Stimela, a widely acclaimed, long-running band that confronted apartheid, died on Wednesday at a clinic in Nelspruit, South Africa. He was 70.

A family friend and spokesman, Paul Nkanyane, announced the death and said that the cause was lung cancer.

The African National Congress, now South Africa’s ruling party, said in a statement: “Phiri was a voice for the voiceless and a legend of our time. An immensely gifted composer, vocalist and guitarist, he breathed consciousness and agitated thoughts of freedom through his music.”

He was only 27 when he made Night of the Living Dead. RIP

Gotta quote Ebert's famous review:

The kids in the audience were stunned. There was almost complete silence. The movie had stopped being delightfully scary about halfway through, and had become unexpectedly terrifying. There was a little girl across the aisle from me, maybe nine years old, who was sitting very still in her seat and crying.

And this just after news of a new psuedo-Dead movie (Romero-scripted but not directed) and Arrow's announcement of a nice bluray set of his immediate post-NOTLD films.

I mean half of his filmography is firmly in my all-time top 100. Dude was a giant.
