I saw him in Chicago in 2017.. tiny dude, unless he had some other underlying health issues can't believe he died of a heart attack at 61.. Shellac just announced a few shows booked this summer like a day or two ago

Sad. too young. He made some of my all time favorite records as a producer, and as a musician with shellac.

One of my favorite shellac tracks…

The Failure documentary has several scenes of him and Ken Andrews (another excellent producer in his own right) experimenting like mad scientists in the studio while recording Failures debut album Comfort in like 1992 was always fascinating to me.

Loved me some Shellac too.

Just another guy who was bitter at musicians who really studied their craft and became exceptional players.

He hated Steely Dan and Toto and spent way too much time bitching and moaning about them on social media.

Most cats like that either never took the time to learn or didn’t possess the talent to solo.
