I thought I might be one of the few old enough to truly get this.

Trevino/Marcus Intallex, a D&B pioneer and fantastic techno DJ/producer to boot. Saw him play 2 years ago at the Harley, fantastic set. RIP

Jesus. When I used to mix DnB the Soul:R sound was a massive part of my style- I have everything from the first five or so years of that label, mostly whites. Mist:i:cal Dub always went off- one of those special drum and bass tunes that's like a different record when you hear it on a big system. Going to play it now. ;(

Just got home from work and heard this. You're not alone. I had all the annuals in the '70s too.
Was it the Baron Knights that did the "Get down Shep" track?
He did a great series after his Blue Peter days too, where he toured the country in a Morris minor convertible; that I remember as an inspiring and magical few moments each week.


Of course, being me, I am now also remembering Leslie Judd...

A big figure in the childhood of anyone who's over 40? That Nelsons Column climb was nuts... I had a few flashbacks today.

Used to love the RBMA radio show, always pushing drum and bass in good ways.  His talent will be missed.

I just noticed American literary giant Denis Johnson has died.

He was a wonderful writer.

David Axelrod - Composer, guitarist, musician and heavily sampled by hip-hop greats died on Sunday...

Been chilling out today listening to records and mooching on the internet for music.  Read an obit about and an interview with Axelrod where it mentions him being a very keen rock climber so did a search on supertopo but the searches are saturated with his namessake who is a big shot in US politics (was Obama's election and campaign advisor) so it's difficult to find out anymore.  It'd be interesting to find out more...

I’d climbed up at Stoney Point [in Chatsworth, California] on that route so many fuckin’ times that my mind was wandering. I was just not concentrating at all. The next thing I know, I was peeling off—which is a hell of a feeling. It’s like a bungee jump except the rope is tied around the waist. It really fucked up my back badly. I didn’t have it tied good and it went up underneath my arms. It was about a forty-foot pitch. I was breaking in a new pair of shoes.

LOVE it!

Got me thinking. Notable persons who are also genuine climbers.

An inverse non climbing claims to fame. I'll propose it on that thread...
