Secret Machines was just amazing, and I loved SVIIB (though I liked the earlier stuff better with both of the sisters). I had been hoping ever since they broke up that he and his brother would have a reunion, but I loved everything he did. I think he had a ton of talent and balls and is going to be missed in a huge way. It's weird to feel this sad about someone you don't really know.
