The R.I.P thread...

I just heard this news very sad to hear that he was another Cancer victim.    Cancer is a MF.

[Wessexy Witch]

I shall say it again.
Cancer is a c**t.

Oh, Grim Reaper, you can SERIOUSLY **** off now!  Why are you taking all the good people??? 

True story, honest... Alan Rickman was one of the few famous people I ever encountered, totally out of the blue. Foyles bookstore, Charing Cross Road, London, in about 1992. I'm just browsing, happen to look up and there is Mr Rickman, a little bit further down the aisle. Slightly taller than me, hair bright blond (must have been for a role) but unmistakably Hans Gruber. Far too chickenshit to say anything to him, but I sort of lurked for a bit and I wished I'd said 'hello' because I heard him talking to someone else, I think it was a gutsier fan than me, in the dulcet tones that were definitely Rickman-esque. Seemed like a really nice guy...

Such a sad few weeks...

Well, that's another one, Glenn Frey, guitarist from The Eagles, has rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

Blimey, they're dropping like flies this year!

Various sites seem to indicate that Mr Griffin produced NMA at some point but I can't find any details... do I have a great big brain hole here?  I could research it, but if anyone has a quick answer for me it'll save me a bit of time...

Just found this:

Griffin also produced numerous BBC Radio 1 John Peel sessions from 1981 to 1994. These included:

    The first professional recording session for Pulp in 1981.
    A session by the Smashing Pumpkins that included the track, "Girl Named Sandoz", which was featured on Pisces Iscariot (in the liner notes, Billy Corgan derisively referred to Griffin as 'Mott The Nipple').
    An early session for Nirvana, which appeared on their Incesticide collection.
    A session for Carcass in 1989.
    A session for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in 1983.



 I've checked to see if he produced the NMA Peel Sessions, unfortunately he didn't.

I'll keep searching though

Thanks for that, mate.

Makes you question your own morality all these people visiting the other side

Um, I became interested to check what was the Griffin's part in Radio Sessions. So, picking up the CD it reveals that: the tracks 1-4 were produced by Dale Griffin (and engineered by Mike Engles) first broadcast on the David Jensen Show 19-7-1983.

Not sure did I see the names right. It's so small print and couldn't see well if I don't read it from a half meter distance. 

Yea. R.I.P. Griffin, the famous Mott's drummer.

A guy called Jouni, a fine artist, sculptor and woodworker died last November. I used to see him at a school
(Turku Arts Academy) where I was studying in 2006 to 2010. I knew him somehow and couple of his friends.

Jouni was well known in the art scene and famous about sculptures he did...ehh, yes... ... ... ...fallistic sculptures and d***os, and he had lots of customers. 

Here is a YouTube video about his works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwLWs1hIxg0&feature=player_detailpage

Now, in Turku he's having his first and only exhibition ever, which unfortunately is also his memorial exhibition. Darn, he was a clever dude! My condolescens go out to Jouni's family. RIP.
