Merzbow Posted March 5, 2025 Posted March 5, 2025 Voice actor George Lowe, best known as the voice of Space Ghost during the Coast to Coast era had passed away at 67. That show was some of the best American surreal TV, it used to go way over my head as a kid though. Quote
Ro_y Disco Posted March 6, 2025 Posted March 6, 2025 Roy Ayers has died, age 84. I discovered Everybody Loves The Sunshine through a mixtape shared on here (i think by Chest Rockwell) and it's a go-to summer tune for me. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/mar/06/roy-ayers-jazz-funk-pioneer-everybody-loves-the-sunshine-dies?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 6, 2025 Moderators Posted March 6, 2025 Sad day. What a musical legacy he has left behind though! Amazing catalogue to celebrate. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted March 6, 2025 Members Posted March 6, 2025 Nice mix here of tracks that sampled Roy Ayers. Pure sunshine. https://www.mixcloud.com/DJ_Hudson/ubiquity-beats-a-selection-of-classic-raps-influenced-by-the-music-of-roy-ayers/ Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 6, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 6, 2025 Between Ayers and Angie Stone passing away a few days ago, it's been a sad few days for music. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted March 6, 2025 Posted March 6, 2025 ‘Red, Black, & Green’ by Roy Ayers Ubiquity is a hell of a record, as is all of the Ubiquity stuff. He did some really great records with Herbie Mann too which are well worth checking out. Quote
Just Some Guy Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 Brian James, guitarist in the original line up of The Damned. A genuine pioneer of the punk genre. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted March 7, 2025 Members Posted March 7, 2025 D'Wayne Wiggins, founding member of Tony! Toni! Tone! aged 64. https://variety.com/2025/music/news/dwayne-wiggins-dead-tony-toni-tone-founding-member-1236331390/ Love a bit of new jack swing. Quote
Merzbow Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 Apparently Gene Hackman's wife passed away from a rare infectious disease, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome a week before he died himself and that his Alzheimer's was so advanced he might not have even known.. just tragic. Quote
Chili Posted March 8, 2025 Posted March 8, 2025 1 minute ago, Chest Rockwell said: And the dog ..? Well the conspiracy theorists needed SOMETHING to work with. Quote
Retro Red Posted March 8, 2025 Posted March 8, 2025 Tragically it appears the dog had recent surgery so was crated, the other 2 dogs were loose and able to find food so survived. Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted March 8, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 8, 2025 Jesus, it gets worse. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 8, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 8, 2025 God, that's inexpressibly sad. Just tragic. Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 9, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 9, 2025 Gene's stomach was completely empty, suggesting he'd not eaten anything in the seven days between them dying. An awful end to a remarkable life. I hope there's never a dramatisation of this. Quote
