Just not sure what ti say.

I've known Amy & Derrick for over a decade I think.

Not as well as a lot of you/us, but enough that I feel it.

I feel the numbers climbing, especially the last couple years, and don't know what to say.

Shoot, I am out of the loop. 

 

Very sad news indeed. 

 

I didn't know them very well, I think I only played a couple shows with them, and that was before I moved to Seattle. Hard to believe that they are both gone.

I came here in the hopes that they would reveal that it is an elaborate joke that spiraled out of control, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I am very sad.

Emperors of Japan

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

i did not know them personally, but as a member of the local music community it definitely feels like we have a little bit shorter of a lifespan than average

 

that is sad and terrifying and i give my condolences to those of you who were friends and family to them before their premature end.

 

life is scary. try to enjoy and appreciate what you have while you still have it.

The first two times in my life I've burst into tears and yelled, "No! No!" and they're the same day. Not about me; just trying to say how I feel. I know it's a much worse day for many others. I miss my friends. Hugs to all of you.

What more can we say? I find peace in knowing Amy can be free and not have to fight the illness and pain anymore. I wish Derrick had seen another way, but I hope he is with Amy and they are together singing wherever they are.

Feeling like an idiot, I keep having half thoughts, they all seem so stupid before they even get fully put together.

Are there any members of the Phoenix Music Community who have professional counciling, grief counciling background?

I don't want to push anyone into taking on emotional work they aren't interested in, but ... for reference, it feels like we could use someone with formal knowledge and skills to turn to in emergency.

The help is always there JRC, the person who needs it has to want it. God knows I tried, and tried before, and we reached out as soon as we found out about Amy. I'm not saying we don't try anymore, but my heart is so sore and my soul is so tired trying just trying to help. Sorry just venting here, all these people I love just floating away. Hold everyone close. The material bullshit doesn't matter. It's the love you share that makes you rich.

Word, especially being in a husband/wife band, having spent almost my entire adult life with the same person (we met when I was 19).

I want to talk about something. 

 

This story made it all the way to Fark's entertainment page via Uproxx. 

 

I saw more press about Mark last year when he died than I ever saw about him or Colorstore when he was alive. 

 

I don't like this trend. What's a person gotta do to get any press about his or her music? Die, apparently. Fuck you, press.
