Alex Chilton Memorial Show: NPR Coverage
I’m pleasantly surprised to write that NPR had the best coverage of the Alex Chilton Memorial Show, which happened at SXSW this past Saturday night. Read about it and watch some videos here. One great moment for me, I like being reminded how good a singer REM’s Mike Mills is.
Gone Too Soon: Alex Chilton
Posted by admin in Music, Uncategorized on March 17, 2010
News broke this evening (via The Commercial Appeal in Memphis), that musician Alex Chilton (who influenced many of the bands of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and now) died suddenly today. Here’s the New York Times‘ Dave Itzkoff immediate thoughts upon the news of Chilton’s passing. Chicago Sun-Times‘ Jim DeRogatis also notes that Chilton was to take part in a panel and tribute to him on Saturday at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin.
Below is Chilton from two years ago, performing his first hit, The Letter.
