Paid Members gmoney Posted January 1, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 1, 2023 RIP! Posting this from the Action Jackson soundtrack in loving tribute.
Merzbow Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Jeremiah Green, the drummer from Modest Mouse has died aged only 45.
Paid Members chokeout Posted January 1, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 1, 2023 Horrible age to go, especially with a young family. He had such an odd career, leaving the band before they recorded their biggest hits, then coming back. Always had a soft spot for them because of their connections with Grandaddy.

Bloody hell, that's awful. One of my formative bands that lead me to discovering music existed outside of Limp Bizkit and Slipknot. I'll give We Were Dead... a spin tomorrow in his memory. RIP.
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted January 2, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 2, 2023 Right at the end of last year but I've just found out that Simon Hanley's away. A La Liga TV commentator, as a big fan of Spanish football, his voice became a staple of my weekends over the last couple of years. He brought a great warmth and enthusiasm to the games he covered and I especially enjoyed it when he was paired with Graeme Hunter. I'm sad he's gone. RIP.
cobra_gordo Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Ken Block, rally driver, drifter, general motorsport lunatic and one of the original founders of DC Shoes has died aged 55. Gobsmacked.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 3, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2023 It was apparently a snowmobile accident.
Keith Houchen Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Alan Rankine from The Associates has died aged 64 One of the finest musicians of the early 80s. Party Fears Two is as good now as it’s ever been.

Party Fears Two is as good now as it’s ever been. Just listened to it moments ago. Utterly gorgeous, weird, brilliant, unlike anything else, and as much as I normally distrust '80s music nostalgia, 1982 feels like a very precise window in time when a song like that could be a top ten single. Gorgeous stuff. You can see how there's a through line from songs like that to producing the Cocteau Twins.
Merzbow Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Roger Kean who co created both Crash and Zzap!64 has died, I remember seeing the covers of both mags as a small child and they always looked insanely cool.
Hugh Thesz Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Kelly Monteith has died. I always remember fondly his show which the BBC broadcast in the early 80s.

I read Zzap religiously as a kid. It was such a great magazine. Roger Frames Buys Budget Games and The Mighty Brain's letters page. I bet if I read them back now there'd be so many things I totally missed back in the day because I was so young.

Read each of the first 40 or so repeatedly, through many staff changes but the ability to cut through bullshit was always there (apart from the Apex games blindspot).
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted January 4, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 4, 2023 Crash was a cracking magazine. Always looked forward to the Crash Smash of the month and loved the cover art.
