To play the teams onto the pitch: one of my team, the Bakersfield radio DJ and former TV traffic deporter, Doug Deroo.... he is the father of the bassist from early 00s nu-metal no-hopers Adema.

Yeah,  he's dead.

From watching Jersey Shore spin-off A Double Shot at Love with Pauly and Vinnie, Vinny's beloved Uncle Nino looks like he's definitely suffering from something: lost a good three/four stone since he was last on TV and walking around with a cane. Should walk a Daily Mail obit if he is ill.

Lou Alvarez, the 9/11 NYPD officer who recently testified in front of Congress with John Stewart, has died.

Misses the chance to be the joker for both teams in next month's Cup Final.

So Chris-Chan had a heart attack....

Gonna guess 6ix9ine?

DDP pick Gerlind Reinshagen died earlier this month, no sign of a QO.

I forget.

I added my first "100% pick" for 2020 the other day. Felt good.

fyi, frontpage updates are gonna be a few days behind for the next few days as I've got some pretty big stuff going on elsewhere.

House isn't my area of expertise but Cassius were big, remember "1999" being all over the radio back in... well, 1999. He also produced what, imho, is one of the 100 greatest songs ever:

ICW mainstay Adrian ‘Lionheart’ McCallum, a massive draw in Scotland, killed himself today. This was his last tweet:

Great pick, perfectly scouted. Nice throwback to the days of uniques being proper gamechangers at the top of the pile.

Dmytro Tymchuk, Ukrainian politician, activist and one of the country's leading military voices speaking against Russian imperialism in the region, has died. He "accidentally" "discharged" a "ceremonial weapon" while "cleaning it". Tch, always the way.

Joe Kelly of the vocal jazz group The Castells, who had two US top 40 singles in 1961-1962.

The only XFL player anyone can remember, Rod "He Hate Me" Smart, has been missing for at least a week and has been described as "endangered" by cops.

Dead on the wires.

Andrea Camilleri is in intensive care following cardiac arrest.

Colin Baddiel update for those with a deadpooling interest:

Typographers probably don't deserve their own thread, but a word for the passing of Freda Sack. Among the fonts designed by her were BAA Bembo, which was used at most British airports in the late 90s and early 2000s: And Foundry Sterling, the official font of Oxford University:

Yeah, I still think this year is a three-wayer between Living End, Day In The Death and TJS.

And there's your QO.
