Gary Smith, Fort Apache studio owner, producer of Throwing Muses' House Tornado, amongst many other things.

one of those names that kept popping up on the records i bought in my teeange years - he also produced the pixies' 'come on pilgrim', scrawl's 'smallmouth' and the chills' 'submarine bells' to name a few

― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Wednesday, 18 January 2023 20:23 (three years ago)

damn, love all those records especially the Scrawl, RIP

I own at least 50% of his production credited discography.

Wow, Van Conner ... and hell, wow, Gary Smith. Kinda shaken at the passing of these folks right outside my peer group.

Screaming Trees were huge for me from about '87 to '93.. sad to hear!

wow

― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 19 January 2023 20:58 (three years ago)

Seems to be some confusion on that yet, haven't seen any sources beyond Yahoo Finance (of all places) reporting it yet and have seen some tweets saying his reps confirmed it's a hoax.

― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 19 January 2023 21:02 (three years ago)

His Wikipedia page already reflects it.

Carry On...

He's in Rock and Roll Heaven now, yelling at Michael Clarke to play his harp right.

david crosby: classic or dead

― mookieproof, Thursday, 19 January 2023 22:03 (three years ago)

that's a serious bummer

(To be fair, he probably should've died about 35 years ago.. he got a second chance)

― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 19 January 2023 22:18 (three years ago)

he had a lot of chances and remained outspoken if less of an outright asshole

― mh, Thursday, 19 January 2023 23:04 (three years ago)

To be fair, I laughed manically when Crosby started rating people's joint rolling capabilites on twitter.

Poor ...looks like a snake who swallowed a bowling ball https://t.co/pzI0z2pA6M

I completely forgot that he was the surrogate for two of Melissa Etheridge's kids.

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 20 January 2023 01:55 (three years ago)

Peak late career Crosby assholery:

Meh .... https://t.co/rncBUS0tnw

Rip Bing Crosby

Luv yr Christmas record

― everybody was tofu fighting (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 20 January 2023 02:50 (three years ago)

He gets mad respect from me for disliking Jim Morrison probably more than I do. And - yes - he was part of some phenomenal music. RIP

― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 20 January 2023 03:05 (three years ago)

He was an asshole to Gene Clark. Who I assume was also an asshole. He wrote some good stuff but wasn't 1/100th the songwriter that Gene Clark was.

Pretty solid on twitter though.

― dan selzer, Friday, 20 January 2023 03:12 (three years ago)

I love how the overall vibe on Twitter has been like, “damn, we’ve lost a really good one”

― Josefa, Friday, 20 January 2023 04:06 (three years ago)

he was a damn fine poster

― frogbs, Friday, 20 January 2023 04:07 (three years ago)

must be because he had the flu for christmas

― mookieproof, Friday, 20 January 2023 04:09 (three years ago)

this was very possibly the first i ever heard of him!

Crosby always looks like he's getting away with something. Martha Stewart has the same resting smug face.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 20 January 2023 13:23 (three years ago)

You have to admit it's a pretty good story.

Dude looks like a walrus. Has the voice of an angel. Nearly destroys himself with Bacchanalian excess. Phil Collins buys him a new liver. He bounces back. Fathers Melissa Etheridge's children. Meets a son he never knew and collaborates with him. Dies at a ripe old age (presumably happy).

Had it been written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we'd consider it a trifle too picaresque.

― everybody was tofu fighting (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 20 January 2023 13:31 (three years ago)

Imagine being as wealthy as Phil Collins, able to buy livers for everyone.

― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 20 January 2023 13:40 (three years ago)

Plus fava beans and a nice chianti

― his cartoon heart expands, then he relaxes by smoking crack (stevie), Friday, 20 January 2023 13:46 (three years ago)

Or broad beans in Phil's case.

TS: Phil Collins buying David Crosby a new liver vs. Henry Rollins buying Roky Erickson new teeth.

― an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 20 January 2023 14:09 (three years ago)

presumably happy

I've been waiting for this liver

For all my life

― The Myth of Sisyspacek (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 20 January 2023 14:20 (three years ago)

"Hero" is so treacly that Collins should have had them install a new pancreas while they were in there.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 20 January 2023 14:21 (three years ago)

He can always put that liver where his heart ought to be.

― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 20 January 2023 14:41 (three years ago)

Crosby was pretty much the dictionary definition of jaundiced

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:00 (three years ago)

Suite: Jaundiced Blue Eyes

― The Myth of Sisyspacek (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 20 January 2023 15:10 (three years ago)

Now I wish Elton John had sung "Suite: Blue Eyes."

― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 20 January 2023 15:12 (three years ago)

Lord Alfred, I'm still laughing at the idea of Collins as an Organ Oprah.

YOU get a liver! and YOU get a liver!
