Red Aunts bassist/vocalist Debi Martini has sadly passed away. As Pitchfork points out, her bandmates broke the news on Facebook, writing:
With tremendous sadness we are heart broken to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our sister and friend Debi . She was our rock goddess and our anchor and we will always treasure our time together and all that we accomplished . Thank you to all our friends and fans – we love you forever . If you would like to send a message please email theredaunts@gmail.com and we will share with Debi’s family and friends . We are devastated . We love you Debi . Xo, Terri , Kerry and Lesley
It has actually. It's hard for me to think that it's been a year already.
Gotcha. For a second, I thought you missed it when it happened, but I couldn't imagine that actually being true. With Debi Martini from Red Aunts passing recently, it made me really start thinking on that I am getting to the phase of my life where more and more musical heroes of mine are going to be leaving due to natural causes. It's going to be a rough time.
I just found out one of my friend's father just passed away today. I am crying. I have known the whole family since I was around 17 I think. Tim was more than a friend's father, he was also one of my regulars when I was a bartender and I even ran into him and his wife Sally when we evacuated for Katrina. His sister is who helped me get my first bank account when nobody else would after I had Kyle. He would go above and beyond for those he considered his friends. He was diagnosed with ALS a few years ago, and his decline has been rapid. I texted his daughter, son and niece my condolences, but feel like I have been punched in the gut. I can't even imagine what they are going through.

Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy, Download, etc) posted to Philip Western’s FB wall a RIP message. I have not seen any official news anywhere but he was not a very well-known musician. However he is highly respected among skinny puppy fans and has taken part in the creation of a number of my favorite albums of all time. I don’t want to speculate but he has been known to post rather morbid stuff. Cevin would know if something happened and this just sucks. He deserved far more recognition and praise for the music that he created than he received, that much is for sure.
Update: his family has stated that they believe it to be an accidental overdose. I would believe it, as he was part of that scene back in the mid 90s where just about everyone was shooting up. I had heard that he got clean, though. However, relapse overdoses are extremely common.
"The House of KARL LAGERFELD shares, with deep emotion and sadness, the passing of its creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, on February 19, 2019, in Paris, France. He was one of the most influential and celebrated designers of the 21st century and an iconic, universal symbol of style. Driven by a phenomenal sense of creativity, Karl was passionate, powerful and intensely curious. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the greatest designers of our time, and there are no words to express how much he will be missed."
This is so sad. I watched it on Nickelodeon as well. I remember once, my Aunt Lara was in town for my birthday and all I wanted was a Monkees album. She took me to the record store in the mall...I can't remember the name anymore, and bought me their record. Told me stories about them when she was young.
I was actually working on a campaign for The Monkee's shows in Australia coming up. I had to find out that he passed away bc they told us to cancel all marketing on the shows until further notice. Gotta be one of the worst ways to find out.
I loved watching The Monkee's on Saturday mornings. I don't remember what channel it was on, but it was in a block with I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, The Partridge Family, The Monkees, and The Brady Bunch. Best Saturday morning line up. I loved it.
