Oh shit. I was just watching a bunch of his old interview and Big Black videos 2 days ago. Damn. One of my favorite 80s musicians.

This fucking sucks and I hate the fact. The way this man heard and reproduced sounds is second to none, not to mention his music. One of the entries on a very short list of people I don’t personally know that I wanted to meet and thank. Gone way too soon. Sad day folks, sad day.
