Ryan Adams, Holiday Home Jams

December 9, 2008

Included here for no other reason than:

Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers declared dead

November 26, 2008

While this happened a few days ago, it’s only just been brought to my attention.
13 years on from his disappearance, Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers has been declared dead. While it’s really just a legal status at this point, I’m still finding this incredibly depressing. Part of me has always lived in the hope [...]
