I could never fall in love with a member of a record club

My day has been bracketed with news of artists found dead and unfair doesn't enter into it, it is bullshit to keep losing people who enrich the world while so many who do exactly the opposite still weigh on its earth.

Music I have been listening to lately ranges from Sloppy Seconds' "You Got a Great Body, But Your Record Collection Sucks" (1998) to KLER x alyona alyona's "Тільки в твоїх обіймах (Only in your arms)" (2024). The Dø's "Slippery Slope" (2011) has been on frequent repeat: I got it originally from and still associate it with this vid. See also the case of Ke$ha's "Die Young" (2010).

Have an amaryllis.

(I couldn't access the NYT article, and, embarrassingly, didn't know Trachtenberg by name, so I just searched on headlines after seeing Sovay's post--but I didn't realize how many factors were at play.)

I'm sorry! I thought I had posted the archived version of the link. Here.

(It does not include any information about the state of her health, but was more complete than the brief announcement I saw in the Boston Globe.)

Thank you! I appreciate it. After reading lauradi7dw's comment, I checked out the news again and did find stories mentioning the liver transplant. That's hard :(

None of these deaths appear to have been "died on account of people don't live forever" which is the only way I like to lose artists; I hate it.
