  1. Australian ambient artist Steve Roach has about 150 albums:

    Plus, the guest appearances on other albums. I see that some entries in that list are duplicates/re-releases, so maybe the "real" number is around 130. On the other hand, he also likes to record 4-hour long albums like "Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces". Many of his records are relatively same-y though, but occasionally, there are gems and new ideas to be found. I guess electronic ambient artists are pretty high on such a list. Tangerine Dream also has tons of albums, or their collaborator Klaus Schulze.

    I guess jazz artists don't count because at some level of fame every live appearance sees a studio release, and these are not really studio albums.


  2. Germany's most famous gossip reporter Paul Sahner is dead at 70:

    His speciality was to make his guests confess private secrets. His interview with then-german minister of defense Rudolf Scharping, half-naked at and in a swimming-pool, showing him kissing and embracing his aristocrat girlfriend, led to his (Scharping's) resignation.


  3. Ed Hardy founder Christian Audigier, 56, has cancer:

    It seems like the treatment is going fine though.

    Now his former "partner" Regis Mijatovic, himself the boss of Playboy fashion, is dead after a shooting:

    Here, "partner" probably means business partner.


  4.  

    BBC journalist Nick Robinson has a rare form of lung cancer:

    But apparently, the prognosis is good.

     

    Some people on twitter however think that the cancer is "karma" for his coverage of the Scottish independence vote:

    Nick Robinson has successful surgery, will start chemotherapy now:

    Nick Robinson's cancer is "worse than feared", though the prognosis is still "good":
