Rest in peace Syd Mead. Produced some wonderful art and was the designer behind several landmark sci-fi films.
“Science fiction is nothing but reality ahead of schedule.”
Loved this guy’s work.

I was legitimately upset to hear this even though he was retired.
Sci-fi wouldn’t be the same without this absolute LEGEND.

Andrew Weatherall.
Found out today he sadly passed away. I went to his Sabresonic nights in London loads back in the day. This really brought things back. Such happy memories from such a sad piece of news.
Just one of those faces that turned up regularly that was a good chuckle whatever he did.

RIP. I really love him in the Christopher Guest flicks. Always a pleasant surprise seeing him turn up in other films too.
He was amazing when he turned up in an episode of Chuck, perfectly played spoof secret agent.

I guess in the end he was the one who ate the magazine roll.
RIP. Incredible actor, 88 years is a good stretch.

Dave K unexpectedly passed away in his sleep, aged 60. I had the chance to hang out with him and Nikki Sudden during my London days. He was a very gentle guy, a legendary lush.
RIP Dave - Thanks for the music, the company and the memories. Truly a unique artist, he was.

RIP EVH.
The OG rock virtuoso has left us. VH’s music was so integral to my rock/metal upbrining. Sad times, 65 was too young. Fuck cancer.
