heart goes out to his friends and family.


JudyDickslap  said about 1 year ago:

My dad went into Greville Records a few weeks back and said to Warrick the owner ''my daughter used to work here'' and Wazza said ''oh, little Bronny, she was obsessed with Alex Chilton''.

This makes me so fucking unbelievably sad.


Jackbratt  said about 1 year ago:

Maybe we should reprise ''Thirteen'' in the Karaoke thread as tribute dickslap.

TransientRandom  said about 1 year ago:

Terribly sad, particularly since he presumably had new material on the boil etc.., and way too young. #1 record is one of my all time faves. :(

YES. One of the greatest songs EVER.

And ditto, TR.


josejones  said about 1 year ago:

sister lovers and like flies are the best records of all time -- too bad only a handful of people will know this.

if luck went his way, he could've been bigger than rod stewart.

postergirl  said about 1 year ago:

Hello … might have to come out of hibernation for this one.


Woollen Kits  said about 1 year ago:

Sucks about the oldies line-up.
Where's the youth representing?


postergirl  said about 1 year ago:

True, no real young 'uns there. I also struggle to see a few of those artists as genuine Alex Chilton fans, but perhaps they actually are and I'm just being a judgmental cow.


Dan_Crad  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, that old fart Jordie Lane. Must be, what, 23? Retire already!


poprocks96  said about 1 year ago:

Not the most exciting line up.


postergirl  said about 1 year ago:

At least a couple of them are spunks, which adds a bit of excitement.


Woollen Kits  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, that old fart Jordie Lane. Must be, what, 23? Retire already!

Exception that proves the rule, etc...
also, he was at least two years ahead of me at school, so he's AT LEAST 24/25! OLD! :D

JJ  said about 1 year ago:

LAMF  said about 1 year ago:

Just heard from one of my buddy's in the Posies that Andy Hummel died of cancer a couple of days ago. Not a good year for the Big Star family.


Ron  said about 1 year ago:

Afraid it's so.

Bummer.


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

sad as it is, i really hate the india song.

poor big star.


Ron  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, India Song is a bit of a problem, but how about Way Out West, filterfeed, HOW ABOUT WAY OUT WEST?


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

it's no daisy glaze, you know.


Arthurly  said about 1 year ago:

Ken Stringfellow?

Sad news about Andy.


sister  said about 1 year ago:

sad.

And for the record I'd like to go to India


djbollocks  said about 1 year ago:

This is a sad year for Big Star fans. Does this mean Jody Stephens is the only remaining original member of the band?


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

yep. $5 he keeps the band going with those two posies fellas.


mrmagoo  said about 1 year ago:

djbollocks  said about 1 year ago:

For the record I quite like The India Song.
