The Orb's Andy Hughes passed away...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

How sad :(
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria

Agree, the Seeds were an excellent band, and Seething Wells was hilariously provocative. They will be missed

Strange, I JUST clicked his name on Wikipedia, whilst listening to Cabaret Voltaire, who apparently covered a Seeds song.
RIP all.

SWells... How very f**king sad. When he did the record reviews I'd almost p*ss myself laughing even when I disagreed with his opinion. We will not see the likes of him again sadly :(

Having grown up in Southern California, Sky Saxon was an icon of my youth (I didn't have to discover The Seeds via Nuggets...). I can still hear 'Pushin' Too Hard' on the Internal Jukebox with no effort atall.

He had at least had a fairly long - and very adventurous - life. It's the young ones that get to me. :(

Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. Friends of my mum's did, knowing she was dying of heart disease. Very tragic-romantic. :(

Add Michael Jackson to the list.
