He shot himself in the heart, a little badass.

This is very unfortunate to me because seeing the news of his death prompted me to listen to his music (I'd heard the name before but never bothered), and it's fucking great... :love:

I've been listening to this guy a lot lately. Specifically this album he did with Fennesz, called In The Fishtank 14. :love: :love: :love: :love:

Wow, that sounds like an amazing team-up. Which Nr is it? I used to check every now and then who they teamed up and eventually get the record, but I totally forgot about that series. I still love Low & Dirty Three in the fishtank. And Karate, but I think they've recorded on their own.

Duh! I shouldn't read & reply while I play guitar.

Oh man this is the first I've heard of this!!! I listened to his first two albums obsessively maybe back in 2002-2003.

I really need to revisit those. Sad that something like this had to remind me. :(

I have to say, I bought "It's a Wonderful Life" recently and it's beautiful. :no:
