I’d watch that.

I was going to put this up the other day, and then I thought sure who would remember anyway? And then I thought that well, that’s the point.
Achim Szepanski has died. Mille Plateaux/Force Inc. were really influential in the 90s and early 00s with pretty uncompromising visions of music. I was looking at the early roster on teh wikis the other day and thinking I had records by nearly all of them. It’s not what I’m going to be listening to but it certainly informed the making of music for generations of musicians.
I like that the first person is someone who had a falling out with him and expresses what a difficult git he was. There are others to speak to his generosity and kindness.
I really didn’t know anything about him back when I was buying the music.

I’m pretty sure his lifetime ban is over.
Too soon?

It’s like the rock’n’roll hall of fame, jeebus who cares, the work speaks for itself; MLB’s all-time leader in hits, games played, at-bats, singles and outs. He won three World Series championships.
Anyone who cares about the game knows about his accomplishments and his career. I mean how much validation does a mortal need. Rarely has “rest in peace” felt so relevant.

Don’t forget tax evader and possibly rapist. And he was also kind of an asshole, so I really don’t feel bad for the guy.

Poor Frank. Compared to Mike, he wasn’t as personable, but I feel like he got a raw deal when they dumped him from the show, for reasons never explained. It seems like he never recovered.
