Ah yeah, I seem to recall him doing all that Disney stuff…no interest in that at all, kind of weird. I think Jordan was inspired by Adam to do the vlogging and eventually moving away from L.A. You should check out some Sparklehorse, betting you’ll like it…any of the first three albums or so is a good place to start. I saw the Kurt episodes, I used to live on the road in Seattle where all those motels are located. Good friend of mine unexpectedly passed away this weekend, I’m still reeling. We shared a lot of common music interests including Neil, here’s one for you Tyler:

Mojo....always weird when someone close to you passes away especially one of your peers. Really makes you realise how short time is and how special people and moments are in life.

Thanks and @Motorik also…it’s been a very hard one for me to take. He had overcome a serious health scare a few years ago and things had been fine since, so this was unexpected and just makes my heart and soul hurt. https://obituaries.yakimaherald.com/obituary/tyler-roberts-1087262288
 
For the uninitiated:

Michael Yonkers (born 1947) is an American rock musician from Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. His work has been praised for its groundbreaking and highly experimental nature; Cole Alexander of psychedelic-rock band Black Lips said that Yonkers “kind of invented noise and drone guitar techniques," stating further that "when you think of how The Who, Jimi Hendrix and The Velvet Underground were pushing feedback at the time, he was more extreme than all three combined in terms of what he was doing.”[1] However, his work did not reach a wide audience until decades after he began recording, due in part to a debilitating spinal injury that kept him in constant, lifelong pain.[2]

His most well-known work is a psychedelic rock record from 1968 called Microminiature Love, which was released on vinyl by De Stijl records in 2002, and later Sub Pop, who released it on CD in July 2003.[3][4][5][6][7] This led to re-releases of other early albums, including the psych-folk album Grimwood, originally recorded in 1971 and reissued in 2007, as well as the early 1970s works Michael Lee Yonkers and Borders Of My Mind, both reissued on Drag City in 2014.[8] Yonkers' most recent work includes three collaborations with Minneapolis indie-rock group The Blind Shake, Carbohydrate Hydrocarbons,[9] Cold Town/Soft Zodiac, and Period.[10]
