RIP George Wendt. He rocked out at many a Deerhoof show over the years. Usually by himself, just there supportively digging the tunes. A big-hearted fan of great music til the end.

If you haven’t, go see the Minecraft Movie during the afternoon on a weekend. It may have single-handledly saved the very concept of the movie theater. I wasn’t sure if i was watching YouTube or the Rocky Horror Picture Show. 10/10
