J. Gandolfini. Though I never managed to watch Sopranos.

I am shattered... Sopranos is the first series that made me appreciate watching TV after many years of just watching news and tv comedies...

Mick Farren died recently.

The first Deviants album and his first solo are classic bent/wrong aggressive psychedelia, his sixties memoir "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette" is the best thing of its genre I've ever read, and I am told by people who know about such things that his sci-fi novels were good too.

All-round interesting guy. Dying at age 69 just after doing a gig in a small venue seems suitably rock'n'roll.

I've been meaning to check his Sci-Fi novels out for a long time, I should get around to that. "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette" is great stuff. His book on amphetamines, shaped like a pill, is pretty good, for what it is.

All around great guy.

Joey LaCaze (Eyehategod)

We are very sad to report that Joey LaCaze, drummer of Eyehategod, has passed away. Though details are sketchy at this point, we’ve received confirmation from a very credible source that he has in fact passed. The band recently completed a tour of Europe and was gearing up for a string of dates in celebration of their 25th anniversary.

Feels kinda strange since they just recently had a gig here in Finland w/Grunt.

Fuck!!!
Can't believe that he died!! I speak with him a lot in Budapest before gig. He was great and funny guy..
So sad about this goddamn news...
RIP...

We talked in the gig and he said he's finally decided to start releasing his noise works, what he has recorded hundreds of master tapes worth since early 90's, but never released before.

...and The Velvet Underground...and the solo work.

Tremendously influential but under-appreciated artist.
