I think the best tribute I can pay the guy is that as a newish parent I look forward to the day I can read Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen to my kid.

What a week. Oscilloscope Laboratories put out a doco about Sendak. Well worth a look.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

Spookily, Alan Blyth, the obituary author, died several years earlier...

Obviously, much more famous for his gargantuan contribution to classical music, though he appeared in a handful of films, and of course his recordings have featured on several soundtracks.

Dear Grim Reaper,

I understand you have a job to do and that maybe it's not your fault that Adam Yauch, Donna Summer, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, each a giant in their genre of music, showed up on your list in succession. I would like to point out, in case you might have overlooked someone on your list, that Dave Matthews, a giant in the genre of crap rock, still lurks among us. Just trying to help.

Sincerely,

Matt

Should we have a "Passages: Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation" thread?

Don't forget Duck Dunn, Levon Helm and Chris Ethridge, all involved with groups and works that were massively influential. (Stax's house band, the Band, country-rock blueprint Gilded Palace of Sin).

This is probably the worst run of pop music deaths in quite a while, maybe the worst since John Entwistle, Dee Dee Ramone, Jam Master Jay, Joe Strummer, etc. all died the same year.

Very sad...just put on his Winterreise CD in his honor. Then onto his amazing Lear.

Yeah, but these things always happen in threes, so the Reaper would have to start a new trio. In addition to Mathews, perhaps the Reaper can also take John Mayer and that guy from Maroon 5?

Some of the early-career Bee Gees stuff was great. This track, for example, is unbelievable.

I'm partial to this one. James Carr also does a wonderful cover of it. RIP!

And this superb edit of Love You Inside Out give you a chance to explore what the Bee Gees were good at. Sink into the strings.

Yes, their finest moment, for sure. Janis Joplin took it places, too.

Nice call on the James Carr connection. Had he been given the material ( and been a less troubled soul), he could have been recognized as one of the greatest deep soul singers.

His finest moment, for me is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbJ1xb0k5c

Compare it to Otis - James Carr was the real deal.
