Ian Curtis’ Grave
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
This one’s an ugly reminder that Joy Division‘s Ian Curtis is dead. It sucks because Joy Division remain better than most bands. There’s also a similar bummer trip about Frank Sinatra and one that’s half-bummer about Tom Petty.

Bob Marley
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
The biggest deal is the fact that it’s the anniversary of Bob Marley‘s death this weekend. That’s a bummer. But there’s also stories about a spider named after Neil Young and something about Pearl Jam.

Thom Yorke of Radiohead
Writing Spinner’s “This Week In Music History” last week was fun. Mostly because I got to bait Radiohead fans a little bit. That, and talk about R.E.M. and Dolly Parton.

My tenure as the author of Spinner’s “This Week In Music History” continues.
This week was very exciting because I finally had the opportunity to (in some small way) discuss hologram rock stars. They’re the future, you know. So, yeah, there were holograms, We Are The World, Roger Waters almost getting bombed and that story about Rolling Stones‘ Keith Richards falling out of a tree — drunken pratfalls are funny to me, even if dude almost died.

Michael Jackson
Spinner’s still letting me do my “This Week In Music History” feature.
Wait until they figure out I intend to turn this thing into the definitive T’Pau chronicle.
Anyway, besides T’Pau this week’s column featured Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, The Cure’s Robert Smith, The Kingsmen vs. the FBI, Joey Ramone, Buddy Holly and Sonny Bono.
