RIP Alan Vega (vocalist for Suicide) dead at 78

[cjefferys]

Man, this has been a rough year for musicians! Suicide isn't hugely well known, but they were a big influence on early punk and especially on electronic music, and their shows were legendarily confrontational. They were a solid part of the NYC punk scene that was happening in the mid 70's. Mr. Vega died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday night, RIP.

Gah! I was listening to Television when I saw this post. Time to throw on some Suicide.

Yeah, Suicide was amazing. That self titled album is one of those amazingly rare albums that seems to come from space.

I dug this article a lot.
