RIP writer of Better by You Better than Me, aka the Judas Priest backward masking song

― I spent too long trying to write sensible SF (Matt #2), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 00:07 (two years ago)

RIP, even if only for those two songs and that much-anthologized sf story by the other Gary Wright, “Mirror of Ice.”

I think it might have been Mindhunter that used "Dream Weaver" reasonably well.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 03:49 (two years ago)

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but in the last few days we've seen the deaths of the singers of Spooky Tooth and Smash Mouth... take care Thom Yorke!

I know MacNeal would be OK but it turns out Mouth died years ago.

― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 16:53 (two years ago)

Steve "Lips" Kudrow from Anvil, probably on his deathbed as I type this.

― Pontius Pilates (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 20:23 (two years ago)

Aw.

Free jazz saxophonist Charles Gayle.

Also sound artist/composer Steve Roden. Talk about two sonic opposites...

― read-only (unperson), Thursday, 7 September 2023 03:37 (two years ago)

RIP CG, saw him play a few years ago.

― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 September 2023 06:37 (two years ago)

RIP to Charles Gayle despite some of his personal views, amazing to think he was born a year before Pharoah Sanders! Had no idea he was that old.

― I spent too long trying to write sensible SF (Matt #2), Thursday, 7 September 2023 15:16 (two years ago)

Bassist Richard Davis. I’m no jazz expert but he played on Pharoah Sanders Karma and Van Morrisons Astral Weeks. The bass playing in Ballerina alone made him a god to me. Taught at Oberlin when I entered which is cool.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 7 September 2023 21:59 (two years ago)

Oh man. RIP. A true giant. A certain ILX0R studied him although not on bass.

― The Thin, Wild Mercury Rising (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 7 September 2023 22:05 (two years ago)

Also played on the somewhat-maligned (though not in this house!) Laura Nyro album Smile.

― henry s, Thursday, 7 September 2023 22:22 (two years ago)

Studied with him

Oh damn. A little over a decade ago, I undertook a summer-long immersion attempt to get into country music, by systematically checking out nearly every country CD in my county's library system. His album Good Times was one of the highlights of that summer. R.I.P.

there was a story that Kadyrov had his doctor buried alive before he went into a coma

― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 17 September 2023 09:09 (two years ago)

Couldn't he have just asked for a second opinion?
