R.I.P. Grant

It's been confirmed that former drummer and co-vocalist of Husker Du Grant Hart has passed on today and to say that it's deeply saddening to myself is an understatement.


That song right there is the song that got me into Husker Du and to this day remains honestly one of my favorite pieces of music to ever be put to tape and the fact that the man responsible for belting that awe inspiring piece of work is no longer with us tears me up because Grant spent his whole post Husker Du career battling addiction and life threatening diseases that no person really deserves to deal with and at the very least I can accept the fact that he's in a better place not having to live with the demons that haunted him his whole life but still one of my musical icons is now gone and watching that performance just makes me swell up in a way that I haven't in a long time I'm listening to Sorry Somehow as I type this out and I'm at a loss for words.

It's a sad day indeed and I'm for lack of a better way to put it shook up and ready for a drink or 7 but I can at the very least know that Grant Hart your music is truly some of the most important discoveries of my life and I very much appreciate your life's work and will continue to hold the songs and the memories attached to them close to me and as I willow in a pool of sadness tonight I'll know for sure that he'll continue to be a source of not only inspiration but joy.

R.I.P. Grant you were an underappreciated legend of your time and I can only hope that people will now take the time to truly come to appreciate the phenomenal catalog of music you've made.

Announcement Time people

Damn I suck at keeping this thing updated don't I? 

In all seriousness though Sam's Birthday Bash 2 was a RESOUNDING SUCCESS!!! and to all the bands that played you the best but with that in mind I'd like to announce that I'll be laying dormant for the next few months with maybe some potential for post on here if the right thing comes up but I have other endeavors that must be meet before I can really devote much thought to music at this time but I will say that December will be the month to follow for sure because those who've been following me for years will most certainly know what's to come but until then for slightly better updates I'll link you to the Facebook Page for this blog because it's a bit more active in terms of updates:


but to round this out nicely here's a few pics that I managed to get from the show enjoy the sight of a very drunk Sam
