Fake death notices! Every day, 10, 15, 20 fictitious reports of musicians' deaths! One day Common, the next Placido Domingo, the drummer from The Cramps at the weekend... it's gonna be heat.

Who's in?

COMMON'S DEAD?!

:(

I still maintain that the "most amazing trivia about music that is 100% false" thread remains incomplete until the corresponding Wikipedia entries are updated to reflect it

Steven Wells RIP. Heaven needed a The Day Today scriptwriter that also liked Atomic Kitten.

List threads. Lots and lots of list threads.

Coherent, well-argued discussions about music?

Coherent, well-argued discussions about music?

You mean, about music itself, ignoring such uinteresting and irrelevant factors as race, class or politics? I doubt you'd be able to do that.

Stop talking to yourself.

(yes, I know that's what Gear said, but I'm starting one now!)

No ILM Summer

Geir Hongro RIP : (

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Folks, should we perhaps put some sort of black armband around ILX for the next week in tribute to Geir's death?

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

And if we could have a seperate thread for condolences, and keep this one for news of his funeral, the time and date, where we should send flowers, etc.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

This is a hard time for us all, but I'm sure we can pull through. Heaven gonna be hearing a lot of Crowded House nowadays.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

"He's been labelled a racist, a Nazi and now dead. But what's really going on inside the head of ILM's third most hated man? It's all coming up on The Wright Stuff, PLUS 'are women really ruining TV?' we'll be asking our guests June Sarpong and Jane Root - don't go changing!"

You working from home nowadays steve?

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated

I see Geir's words on this thread, like I see his face in every sunrise and hear his voice in the laughter of every ~~racist~~child.

"i just saw him on the street"

"yes dear, on the street in your mind"

Damn you to hell God, you bastard, why you gotta take the beautiful ones first?

Psyche! No women post to rym.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

They are men in disguise, too ashamed to be recognised.

― StanM, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, poor Geir, just as Crowded House are about to make their comeback. If only he could have lived a couple of months longer.

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

Just another bitter irony on this cruellest of days.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

First Diego Corrales, then Common, now Geir Hongro: this week sucks.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

He'll be judging the objective quality of their melodies in heaven.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

Let us hope that Eric Clapton puts in a few extra chords in 'Tears in Heaven' just for Geir.

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

Certainly Clapton's views on ethnic minorities would find a sympathetic ear.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

The funeral is at St Olav's Cathedral, Tromstorgaaas, next Thursday. Geir's will said that he wouldn't want flowers at the funeral, and instead please donate money to the campaign to have a gold statue of Paul Carrick erected in Trafalgar Square.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

Man, I was hoping that the answer would be famous female musicians in various states of undress... Nip slip June?
