I just found out that Gavin Clark of Sunhouse and others died earlier this year.

A classic tortured soul, but what a voice.

The Sunhouse album is one of my all time favs, if you like melancholic bluesy folk rock I can't recommend it highly enough.

Doug Tompkins businessman, ecology activist, and handy alpinist, in a canoeing accident in Patagonia.

Tompkins got into climbing in the late 50s and spent a few years as a ski/climbing bum in Colorado, Europe and South America. He founded The North Face in 1964 in San Francisco (where else?) as a specialist climbing and backpacking company. In the days before they made puffa jackets to the masses he designed and sold one of the first working dome tents. He was part of the legendary 1968 "funhogs" trip/expedition, Chouinard and friends, driving a VW bus down to Patagonia surfing and climbing new routes on the way. With his then wife he started Esprit clothing on his return. He sold both companies and poured much of this money into buying, protecting and preserving land in Patagonia.

A fully lived life.

I'd never heard of him before, but just gave that album a listen and it's great. Sad loss.

That is sad. His vocals are on a few Unkle tracks too. Agree with the Sunhouse album recommendation.

Really sad. If you've not watched 180 degrees south it's available on Netflix and is highly recommended

Sad, his work in Patagonia is something to be revered

Great film will watch again tonight, very jealous of the adventures he and Yvon had growing up

Never heard his name before but now I have.

Wow, that voice reminds me of Van Morrison. Effortless. The Van Morrison of TB Sheets, not Moondance, obviously.

His prowess on the campus board was always a great source of inspiration for our own favourite chin owner.

John Ellison.

I waited for someone who knew him better, but..

Please don't let CAC fade away, regardless if your opinion of the T-shirt fad.

Just saw this on FB. Probably deserves its own thread.

He put up one hell of a fight 

Well done John for everything you have done

Lemmy.

We were Motörhead and we played rock and roll

Lemmy = Legend. How he made it to 70... Given lifestyle..

Sorry to add yet another video but this covers the hippie-and-Motörhead history perfectly....Hawkwind's Silver Machine:

Ex-Newcastle and Wednesday goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek, apparently had a cardiac arrest whilst running before Christmas and have turned of life support today.

[lagerstarfish]

Lemmy.

bad timing - if he'd left slightly sooner he might have had a Christmas number 1

bye Lemmy,
thanks for all the noise

But that's the way I like it, baby
I don't wanna live for ever

And don't forget the joker"

Can't have it all, where would you put it?

[the_dom]

Part of me is more impressed that he, and his ilk, lived as long as they did.

I still listened to Ace of Spades a number of times today.

[SA Chris]

Philthy Animal only had a month of peace now Lemmy has joined him.

Meadowlark Lemon has just died too

And now Guru Josh, only 51. The tide of mortality is lapping ever closer to my feet, I'd best get on and do something with my life!

Just to let people know...

Rob Crump, who was Grumpycrumpy on here and known as Chippie Rob to many of us, passed away over the Christmas period.

He leaves behind two kids and a lot of other people who will miss him.

It's too early to say what happened, so for the sake of his family, we'd best say nowt on here.

good bye Other Rob
