RIP ALEX CHILTON




Cool Muthafucker...

Seems like all i do on this thing is post about my favourite artists dying.

This is tough to take, Big Star have been a constant source of joy in my life since i first got into their music as a Mojo mag inhaling sixteen year old. Nothing can compare to listening to September Gurls full blast in your headphones whilst taking in a long summmer evening...

Chilton was a true visionary, a real artist in an increasingly commodity driven industry who never rested on the laurels of his earlier acclaim (even if only critical). He was a fearless musician, producer and collaborator with the likes of Tav Falco, Alan Vega, The Cramps and countless others and he will be greatly missed.

If like me you never did get the chance to see him play live...this should bring a smile
