Light In The Attic is also reporting that Seattle music scene Legend Susie Tennant of Sub Pop Records has passed away.

It’s with heavy hearts we share the news that Susie Tennant passed away yesterday. Susie was a giant inspiration for so many within the Seattle music community and far beyond. While interning at Sub Pop in the mid-90s, Susie handed me a 7" by the Fastbacks, released on Munster Records in Spain. She said to call the phone # on the back of the record jacket, tell them Susie sent me, and ask for an internship. I immediately did just that, trying to explain to Francisco (or was it Íñigo?!) at Munster the definition of the word “internship.” Six months later, I was in Madrid, interning for Munster and my life would never be the same. Without a doubt, there’d be no Light in the Attic without Susie. Susie, we’ll miss you. Thanks for all you did for us and thanks for all you did for so many others. Rest in Peace. Our hearts go out to Susie’s family and friends.

Mary Weiss's death brings to mind an ongoing issue with the baseball HOF: their habit of not inducting some obviously qualified people while they're still alive (Ron Santo, Buck O'Neil, Leo Durocher, Dick Allen), then inducting them soon after they die--or, in Allen's case, not even then. (He'll be inducted eventually). I bet the Shangri-Las go in within two or three years; they should have been in long ago, and from all reports (by which I mean Greil Marcus), going in was something that was actually important to Weiss.

i'm sorry that that was important to her
i've complained about the baseball HOF often enough, as clemenza is well aware -- it does less to celebrate greatness than to punish non-inductees (who were all great players!) for not measuring up, for years on end. (and then slips harold baines in via a back door because tony la russa liked him)
and the R&RHOF is ten times more arbitrary and racist and sexist. no one should care about it

― mike t-diva, Saturday, 20 January 2024 10:39 (five months ago) link
RIP Marlena + Pluto.
Weird that reggae used to be in the British charts so regularly. I assume Pluto Shervington's "Dat" managed to become a Top 10 hit because the BBC couldn't understand the patois, it mentions buying weed in the first 30 seconds!

Oh, this one hurts.

Apparently Neil Kulkarni? I can't find it anywhere official, but a mutual friend (who I don't think posts here any more) mentioned it, and the most recent post on his Facebook wall (from someone else) says something similar.
