    Good grief. This is a damn shame.

    That’s really sad–and spooky, especially since I interviewed them both a week ago Monday, and they were really up and lively; it as a genuinely enjoyable experience. (And I like the new album.) R.I.P.

    This is a downer. I wasn’t a fan of the new direction they took on Map of What Is Effortless, but “Fahrenheit Fair Enough” was on juuuuuust about every mix tape I made between 2002 and 2003. I always thought they took a particularly judicious approach to a genre that got boring in a hurry.

    Can we all be clear on the fact that by “passed away,” you mean “killed himself after a fight with his girlfriend, like a complete pussy.”

    Thank you.

    I signed up for this board just to teach ‘MikePo’ some manners.

    First off, have some decency. Perhaps you’ve never been selfless enough to care about something to such a degree, or perhaps you’ve not yet lost someone who meant the world to you. Either way, Charlie was someone’s Everything and a dear friend to those lucky enough to have known him!

    If you want to be a callous prick, there are countless places to do such a thing. This however, is meant to be something thoughtful and personal.

    Try to scrape together an ounce of respect and do your best to act civilized for 2 sentences.

    RESPECT.

    This is terrible news…I saw them play a set for the first time a couple months ago, and the new album is fantastic stuff…just horrible fucking news.
