Today’s announcement reads: *Jerry Fuchs was one of my best and most loyal friends. In other situations it might seem trite or misguided to mention someone’s music career in light of such a tragic death, but the truth is that music was an integral part of our relationship. Jerry was with me from the beginning of The Juan MacLean. The band allowed us to travel the world doing something we loved more than anything, and we constantly reminded ourselves how lucky we were, pushing each other to appreciate the life we were living when things got tough. It is not hyperbole to say that Jerry was the absolute best at what he did. He was a legendary drummer. Other drummers revered him and fans were astounded by his playing. He was always the best part of any band of his which he was a member. And in light of all that, he was relentlessly humble to the point of self-deprecation. He exuded qualities that are are rare in the circles he traveled. He was disarmingly sincere and valued honesty above all else. I have never played with anyone as great as Jerry. I would be hard pressed to name a more supportive and loyal friend. I hope his family finds some bit of solace in the fact that Jerry touched the lives of so many all across the world, as evidenced by the outpouring of support and condolences come flooding in.*

Today’s announcement reads: *We’re all totally stunned and shocked here. We lost a dear friend Sunday morning & we’re devastated. Jerry, drummer for Turing Machine, The Juan MacLean, !!!, Maserati and 10,000 other lucky bands also played drums with LCD for some of the first LP tour, but that doesn’t matter. Jerry was more a great friend than anything & that includes how truly incredible of a drummer he was. We miss him horribly.*
Jerry passed away over the weekend.

Waiting... One of the things that gets under my skin is having to wait for a music download to finish. I usually end up playing something silly, like online bingo or some other flash game, while I'm trying to kill some time. It's an easy way to kill 10 minutes while waiting.
