Also of note: Tony Renna was killed in an accident at Indy. Shame, very promising future.

Self-Inflicted Stab Wound.

I saw this. How can I avoid being rude or glib? ... but my first thought was almost "Stab yourself in the heart. How ....almost poetic. How Elliot" That is pretty desperate.

A friend of mine had this to say:

i really liked needle in the hay, which is probably the only song most peolpe have heard. Bad Astronaut does an awesome cover (which is where I heard the song first). Then it was featured in The Royal Tennanbaumbs (spelling obviously wrong) when, go figure, luke wilson is slashing his wrists.

His friend Mary Lou played a short set last night in Arlington, VA and closed it with a very sad version of his song "(Not) Half Right".
