I just found out that Chu Ishikawa died at the end of last year. He was 51 and apparently was battling a long illness. He did the soundtracks for most of Shinya Tsukamoto's films and must have been quite influential in industrial music but he could do quite a variety of styles. I did think he looked alarmingly thin at times but I knew nothing about his illness.

aw RIP Mary Lee Berners Lee and Bob Wakelin (only just seen that post)
as a child I studied the Rainbow Islands box art in great detail and decided that, since Taito was a Japanese company and the colourful big-eyed box art seemed vaguely like the Euro-Japanese coproduction cartoons imported to mid/late-80s CBBC for my daily viewing, the signed name "Wakelin" must clearly be Japanese, pronounced wa-ké-lin
it took many years to realise that this was quite a silly thought

All the times I linked to her blog saying m/l "you won't believe who's still around and still blogging", and now I can't believe she isn't.
Thanks for all the books (still so many more I haven't read, too), new ways of thinking for teenage me about fantasy and SF and gender - and the blog posts and cat pics too...
