I don't know if it's a good idea to start this summary with what I feel was the tragedy of the year but I am anyway. you know Austin Peralta? he's dead. I don't know what happened and I keep remembering to check as if it matters it doesn't. the reason I consider this the tragedy of the year apart from the fact that I think his music was inspired and the way he went about it was inspired is that this cheerful lovable hyperactive kid was as far as I could tell one of few - when you think in terms of percentages, of course there are many examples, but how many? - people whose genius and passion for art match their humanity and passion for people. no limits to creativity no limits to love. I think people like that are capable of changing the world and I think Austin Peralta has a little, but would have done way more in the years not to come. may he never rest, that's certainly not what he was about.
