My mom, my wife and I just went through the long list of notable deaths, and, man, the number of people who meant something to me. Just horrifying. So many names I'm ashamed I'd already forgotten were this year. Alan Rickman, Harper Lee ... Curtis Hanson, Kenny Baker ... Alan Vega, Anton Yelchin ... Bernie Worrell, Bill Cunningham ... Tony Conrad, Garry Shandling ...

Another bow to Carlos Nine, one of my favourite artists. Barely any comics sites gave a toss despite his mad skills shitting all over 99.8% of the artists in the industry.

I saw on Facebook that Ethiopian drummer Temare Haregu, who played with Hailu Mergia and was a founder of the Walias Band and can be heard on an Ethiopiques compilation or 2, has passed away.

It feels so stupid to point out that this thread is almost over, but it also seems important. Need a good word for things that are important and stupid

the Ghost Ship fire managed to escape mention on this thread. Cherushii at least deserves mention I'd suspect
