Last night we played music at a bar and the first song was “Girl” by Suicide and today we are very sad to find out that Alan Vega has passed away..
The following statement was taken from Henry Rollins webpage:
07-16-16
“Hello. Henry here. I am afraid I have some unfortunate news. Below is the family approved statement.
We will have a special show tomorrow on KCRW, celebrating the great man’s work. Thank you for reading and thank you for respecting the family’s privacy at this difficult time.
July 17 1618 Hrs. PST
With profound sadness and a stillness that only news like this can bring, we regret to inform you that the great artist and creative force, Alan Vega has passed away.
Alan passed peacefully in his sleep last night, July 16. He was 78 years of age.
Alan was not only relentlessly creative, writing music and painting until the end, he was also startlingly unique. Along with Martin Rev, in the early 1970’s, they formed the two person avant band known as Suicide. Almost immediately, their incredible and unclassifiable music went against every possible grain. Their confrontational live performances, light-years before Punk Rock, are the stuff of legend. Their first, self-titled album is one of the single most challenging and noteworthy achievements in American music.
Alan Vega was the quintessential artist on every imaginable level. His entire life was devoted to outputting what his vision commanded of him.
One of the greatest aspects of Alan Vega was his unflinching adherence to the demands of his art. He only did what he wanted. Simply put, he lived to create. After decades of constant output, the world seemed to catch up with Alan and he was acknowledged as the groundbreaking creative individual he had been from the very start.
Alan’s life is a lesson of what it is to truly live for art. The work, the incredible amount of time required, the courage to keep seeing it and the strength to bring it forth—this was Alan Vega.
Alan is survived by his amazing family, wife Liz and son Dante. His incredible body of work, spanning five decades, will be with us forever.”

A Gustavo Cerati le gustaba la música. Le gustaban todos los géneros. Le gustaba tanto la música, que en lugar de rendirle tributo a esas canciones y/o artistas que tanto admiraba terminó cometiendo plagio.
Sé que es molesto y fácil de contraatacar y decir que él solo tomaba lo que necesitaba. El de todos modos hacia música increíble. Él sigue siendo un icono de la música del rock en español. Blah. Blah. Blah. Aquí no estoy disputando eso. Lo que estoy diciendo es que se robó canciones. Tomó algo que no era de él y lo hizo pasar como original. Quizás esto lo pudo lograr debido a la falta de conocimiento musical de sus fans o quizás sus fans simplemente lo ignoraban con tal de que siguiera sacando un disco mediocre y otro.
En el siguiente video hay varios ejemplos. No los voy a mencionar por escrito para no arruinar la sorpresa.
Los que si voy a mencionar, que no vienen ahí, son los siguientes:
Es muy probable que me hagan falta varias canciones e instancias de mencionar, por favor no sean tímidos y háganlo saber para poder incluirlas.
Gracias…
We were looking for a home, a good, safe place to live and finally we found one!, but it took time, energy, money, patience, etc..during the search efforts driving around town, we listened to a lot of music, not as much as we wanted, still thinking of all the music we want to share with everybody, we came up with the idea of creating a list of songs that are about or talk about “Home”, here it is, don’t forget to follow us on Spotify.
Portishead – “SOS”, the song is a cover of ABBA‘s 1975 single, it was recorded specifically for the film “High Rise” and not for general release, in the video the band plays tribute to the late politician Jo Cox.
Jarvis Cocker – Quantum Theory
Last night I slipped through time to a parallel delusion
You were alive and happy
Our children played in trees, were strong and wise and knew no fear
We watched them play together
Somewhere everyone is happy
Somewhere fish do not have bones
Somewhere gravity cannot reach us any more
Somewhere you are not alone
This morning, when I awoke
God was dead but I lived on
I cannot move, but I am free
I found the source of gravity
Somewhere everyone is happy
Somewhere fish do not have bones
Somewhere gravity cannot reach us any more
Somewhere you are not alone
Somewhere in a parallel dimension
Happening now but not within your sight
The force that binds the universe together
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
