fuck that. Mark Linkous, sole driving force of Sparklehorse, and collaborator on the Dark Night of the Soul Dangermouse project with David Lynch, has taken his own life. fuck that. seriously. FUCK. THAT…… you had much more to offer this world, Mark. regardless, thanks for the music, and peace be with you… i guess you needed it. pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all. (if you’re not familiar with Sparklehorse, It’s A Wonderful Life is one of the best albums ever made, and it’s a more than fitting requiem.)

now that i’ve seen so much of Alexander McQueen’s work post memoriam, i’m pretty blown away by his sadly wasted talent. check out Björk’s requiem words for him here. pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all. by the way, i have completely forgotten how utterly amazing Björk is. (and how amazing Michel Gondry USED to be.)

Jay Reatard was right, it ain’t gonna save him… no word on the cause of death yet, but what a god damn shame… he was only 29 and everyone and their mother is guessing overdose. at least for someone so young, he left behind a surmountable volume of music. pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all… what a blow to the indie world. (*update – couple touching-ish tributes from Los Angelenos – Beck here with Jay’s cover of Gamma Ray – and Amoeba Records with a tribute here and photos from his Hollywood Amoeba show here.)

sadly, MTV hasn’t released their classic game show Remote Control on DVD, and it’s pretty hard to find elsewhere, so in a way this is kind of a double obituary. host Ken Ober brought a goofy dynamic to game show hosting (on purpose), and he and Remote Control helped to launch the careers of a variety of love ‘em or hate ‘em comedians, including Adam Sandler, Denis Leary, and Colin Quinn (not to mention scream queen Kari Wuhrer. hotcha! she even made eighties clothes look good!). tragically, Ober passed away this week at the ripe young age of 52 (no word on why yet). pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all… i’m sure Ober is resting comfortably in that La-Z-Boy in the sky, remote in one hand, bag of salty snacks in the other.
