This is turning out to be the most awful year of all time. Completelly sad and fucked up.

Sleazy wrote this to me about my friend that died in april. Sending it back to him:

a sense of quiet optimism in the continuity of energy
and in the non-existence of linear time. Maybe not lost but just
mis-placed.

From the TH link...

Our awareness that physical death is not an end, but mearly a transition to a whole different part of existence, a new adventure, should by now be clear to everyone.

Jhonn has simply crossed over the Threshold...


Just listened to "Astral Disaster" in memoriam. More beautiful than ever. Even though today was utterly bastard cold, I've been wearing my biker jacket with the "Chaosphere projected on sphere" painted on the back, rather than anything warmer.

He sees
Words carved in ice
And reads
That everything changes
And everyone dies...

oh, god.

this was something that was easy to see coming, i suppose, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

we've lost a great someone and a major inspiration.

I don't know what to say... I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to "Ostria" the same way ever again. One of my all-time favorite male vocalists from one of my all-time favorite bands... This really sucks.

Looks like they'll never be doing their follow-up to "LSD" now.:/

I think John Peel's demise is creating some kind of cosmic ripple effect...
