It's Not Like He Died Or Anything But Still

Chris Cohen gave Deerhoof his notice. His new (old) band is the Curtains. Again this is not worth a eulogy or anything but Chris is pretty damn stand-up and this is a huge loss for the Best Band Ever. The band's three best records (Reveille, Apple O, The Runners Four) relied pretty heavily on intricate dueling guitar passages, made possible by rare and freakish Dieterich-Cohen telepathy. Since the Radiohead gigs are soon, I'm wondering how the band's gonna pull off that material with only three in the pen. Etc etc etc.
