I’m not good at this stuff, i’m really not. i’m also questioning if it’s even proper to post about something like this on my “blog” … but upon further thought i feel like not acknowledging it isn’t right either.

statenews.com – article on tim’s death.

Tim was one of my many record store / DJ / Club friends from the boston days. i’d run into him here and there, smile, babble about music, and inevitably i’d walk away thinking ‘Fffffffffff that guy knows his shit!’. There aren’t many people out there that can show me up musically, but Tim did on a regular basis and I loved every minute of it.

again, i’m not good at these things (obviously) so i think that i’ll let mr. teep take it from here. RIP Tim, i’ll miss our random chats … see you at the big record show in the sky …

updated: 3.21.08 > many, many others have posted lil tributes to tim … links to those in the ‘read more’ section. also if you’re in Boston they’ll be holding a tribute to him @ the enormous room – 567 cambridge ave from 9-1am. open decks, just bring records that Tim would have liked. (i love this idea)

Hizah! Helmed by Zach Snyder of 300 fame we shouldddddd see it in theatres by this time next year (as long as those f*cks at fox don’t get their way.)

They’ve finally released some (fairly badass) pics of some of the on-screen costumes … check em out after the cut!
