RIP Matty Simmons (upper right), publisher of the National Lampoon, producer of ANIMAL HOUSE and the VACATION series. I heard a lot of shit spoken about Matty, and maybe it was deserved, but he was very open and supportive of me when I wrote MR. MIKE. So long. pic.twitter.com/ec2PLqRf43

oh shit ..RIP Florian. I caught Kraftwerk live in Sheffield in '90 and it such a great gig.

I don't do many gigs but when I saw Kraftwerk it was the first time I had that sense of witnessing true iconic legends ... not just mere mortals.

― calzino, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 15:51 (three years ago) link

Florian always seemed to be the one who was enjoying himself most ;_;

― Angry Question Time Man's Flute Club Band (Tom D.), Wednesday, 6 May 2020 15:53 (three years ago) link

I think Florian did a very amusing parody of a guitar solo on his Pocket Calculator keyboard when I saw them, but it was 30 years ago and I don't trust my memory that much.

― calzino, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link

Yes, that was his little bit of stagecraft!

― Angry Question Time Man's Flute Club Band (Tom D.), Wednesday, 6 May 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link

Barry Farber was on NYC radio forfuckingever, and didn't add much.

― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 May 2020 20:17 (three years ago) link

Oh shit, that's awful about Ty. He was a lovely guy, made some fabulous records, and really was an important part of the UK hip hop movement.
