The RIP thread...

Rewind In Peace

Nicely! 😆

Crap. Pretty sure I got We Are IE out the discount box on the counter in Bluebird Records in Bromley.

Rik van Looy, rest in power 🙏

Eddie Stobart 🚛

wasn't that years ago?

edit: it was Eddie Stobart Jr.

DJ Alfredo.

No official confirmation but a friend in Spain sent me a text. I know he’d been unwell for a few years.

Jeremy Beadle RIP.

And Graham Norton. Sad day.

For real? Can't seem to find anything on this, but his twitter account gives a hint.

And not for the first time either

Seems it's been confirmed. Sad news.

I was huge fan of Amen of when I was 13/14 but never got to see them because I held a joint for someone that needed to crumble weed right outside the club entrance. The bouncers refused me entry 😂
I listened to their first 2 albums consistently with my CD Walkman walking to and from school. Even now I thought I'd hate listening to something that resonated so much with my shitty school/home life but this song surprisingly still hits.

R.I.P. Casey Chaos, 20/12/24 - heart attack apparently

Saw this the other day, RIP. I loved that album, still have the CD somewhere. First band I saw as I stumbled into the radio 1 tent at my first Reading festival, ended up doing my first crowd surf and having an absolute blast.

Bloody hell I totally missed that, was a big fan back in the day

Jimmy Carter, centenarian peanutarian.

About bloody time

Really? I think he was better than your average human, and light years better than your average politician.

Yeah WTF. Imagine he had another term instead of fucking Reagan, and how much better the world would be for it. He cared about the greenhouse effect in 1980, IIRC.

I’m joking obviously. Greatest human

I mean, show some respect.
