xp. yikes, horrible.

Sad news about Mark. Still have my Pop Kid t-shirt. RIP

Had mine for years -- long-sleeved!

That's sad about Mark Keds, he couldn't have been particularly old. saw the senseless things a couple of times in the late 80s, still love 'too much kissing'

He was 50.

Marsha Zazula of Megaforce Records.

Gutted about Mark Keds.

First time I saw the Senseless Things was when they supported the newly reunioned Buzzcocks. Tough spot, but they were both great.

No thread on ILM though...

Xxp damn. Any idea what happened?

Keds? Sounds like Covid related

Well that's shit :(

Multi-instrumentalist - composer Howard Johnson. He made his recording debut with Bill Dixon, enjoyed a long association with the Band and Levon Helm, and also collaborated with Charles Mingus, Andrew Hill, Sam Rivers, and many, many others.

I was just listening to him on a Gato Barbieri record.

RIP Howard.

Haha I really REALLY do believe this.

He’s angry about impeachment, people who have spoken to him say. But the reaction to the PGA decision was different order of magnitude.

Ultimately with impeachment he's all 'yeah yeah I'm about out, fuck it,' but the PGA was part of the next steps of scamming and now he's fucked there.

Is Trump dead now?

if Ned posted it, it's true

let's get together and feel alright

That must have been some PGA decision.

No, Mr Trump, I expect you to die

I feel bad not having a clue who Howard Johnson is despite him playing loads of classics like Liberation Music Orch and Mama Too Tight. RIP

I have a ton of records Howard Johnson plays on (Mingus, Dixon, Hill, Rivers etc.) but honestly when I heard the news I immediately jumped to see if he was the tuba player who'd worked with Arthur Blythe on so many records. He was not; that was Bob Stewart, who's still alive.

Did you ever see him live?

Don't think so.

Here's a link to a post where an interview with him is linked: The dog trots freely thru the Rolling Jazz Canto Thread 2016

He had such a great attitude from everything I read.

Sheldon adelson

Oh boy.

his only regret is that he didn’t make the world even worse

it sez he was a casino magnet, cheating fucker!

The world is a better place today.

Cellist David Darling. His recordings on ECM are all time beauties.

Bit of a checkout day for rich right-wing arseholes!

Was going to say. Awful tribute here

Farewell with respect and admiration to Sir David Barclay who rescued a great newspaper, created many thousands of jobs across the UK and who believed passionately in the independence of this country and what it could achieve.

— Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) January 13, 2021

As I saw someone write on Twitter this morning, Barclay didn't believe in the UK enough to actually pay tax here

Hopefully these things come in threes, there are plenty of candidates.

Jessica Campbell, Tuba Girl from Freaks & Geeks and attempted spoiler candidate Tammy from Election.

Wow...She's great in both (her F&G character was so ahead of its time).

RIP, two iconic roles
