What I Am, Without

I'm no good at this, but I have to mention the sense of loss I feel, with Telefon Tel Aviv's Charles Cooper passing away this week.

He was an amazing musician. I can't listen to "What It Is Without The Hand That Wields It" without getting shivers. Listen for yourself:



It's the only track I've ever felt the need to comment on, on last.fm:

Seeing him play it live at Yuri's night is something I'll never ever forget. Charles' music will outlive us all.

Sympathy to his friends and family.


That wasn't the only loss of this type I learned of this week, but that sadness isn't a subject for this blog.
