"If he died in Memphis (he didn't), then that'd be cool, babe" Paul Westernberg
Big Star were awesome. But Alex Chiltern is fuckign dead. He died of a heart attack in New Orleans on the 17th March 2010 (just three days before Big Star would play at SXSW; Austin, Texas; bummer). He is survived by his wife, Laura, son, Timothy, and sister, Cecilia. Shame.
The Big Star record Radio City is pretty much the best album ever. A strange amalgamation of darkness and power pop, creating some sort of musical happy nihilism.
