Jay Bennett R.I.P.
It is with a heavy heart that I post this, but this source (and the rumour mill here as well) have confirmed the death of Jay Bennett. According to the report, it states that Bennett died in his sleep. The documentary, I’m Trying to Break Your Heart, did no justice for him and made him out to be a neurotic crazy unable to mend a working relationship with Jeff Tweedy. You can download his appropriately titled new album, Whatever Happened I Apologized, here.
Okkervil River Tour
I just got word of the great news and I must admit that I’m a bit giddy. I’ve never seen Okkervil River and every time I got a shot at seeing them, it fell through.Will Sheff is SO DREAMY.
