So, yeah, make no mistake: this is a life-and-death moment for yours truly.” [The Beauty Pill's MySpace blog]

    Chad’s also been a major part of the Dischord remasters. I definitely wish him a full recovery.

    Holy shit. I’ve loved Chad’s music, in Smart Went Crazy and Beauty Pill, for going on 10 years now, and just recently started listening to The Unsustainable Lifestyle a lot again and reminding myself of what a great, unique lyricist he is. So this is hitting me really hard at the moment, and I don’t often get emotional about people in bands. He will be in my thoughts today, I wish him the best.

    Really happy to hear this, may he live long and make a lot more music (also, considering how well written his blog posts always are, I hope he writes a book someday, too).
