Aw, shit...
Don't know how many of you will care, but this is just devastating to me personally - the most disheartening death in a month that saw far too many of them. Whether alone or in tandem with Jeff Armour, Dave Mahoney's drumming - emphatic, precise, vaguely martial - was absolutely crucial to the greatness of those old MX-80 Sound records, as well as those more recent O-Type records. He'll be missed. RIP
[Out of deference to Dave, and to a song which he first recorded with Rich Stim (as Chinaboise) over 30 years ago, I'm temporarily mothballing my adopted user name, purloined as it was from the title of said song.]
