Just found out that Derf Scratch, the original bass player from Fear died last week. "The Record" is one of my favourite punk records ever, not to mention that I learned a little something about how to creatively bait and cuss out an unruly audience... Sad stuff indeed. This is shaping up to be a bad year for musicians I like...

They were one of the most entertaining parts of Decline of Western Civilization, and The Record had some pretty interesting songs mixed in with all the misanthropy and riffing. It's a shame he's passed, he couldn't have been any older than his mid-50s at this point. RIP, Derf.
