RIP Rowland S. Howard.

His solo stuff was good as well - it sounds a bit like The Bad Seeds' early albums (Your Funeral... My Trial etc)
It's worth checking out, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's worth more recognition that it got.

Sad news.

R.I.P., Rowland.

I particularly enjoyed his collaborations with Lydia Lunch.

A sour wind took the fire from Jack's cigarette. Nobody's throat got a pass on freezing, not today. Jack's hands stayed in his pockets. Something whipped against his boot, something rattling like baby bones in a fat man's casket. Pool ball eyes rolled down to the paper, finding the headline beneath a sheet of filth: "BIRTHDAY PARTY GUITARIST PASSES AWAY".
Jack spat his smoke onto the asphalt. With a gnash of wheat colored teeth, he ground the words out, "This is a bad start to the week."

I pictured this with Jack strolling down the streets of Luxembourg in his stripey jeans. It could even be the start to a nanowrimo novel.
