Matt Harris, Bass Player For The Posies, Has Died
Matt Harris, bass player for The Posies and before that Oranger, has passed away. A cause of death has not been announced.
The Posies issued the following statement:
“It is with a very heavy heart we acknowledge that the news circulating today is true. Matt Harris, bassist for the Posies from 2001 til 2014, has passed away. Matt lent his incredible skills, mischievous humor and abject sweetness to many Posies tours and his brilliant bass lines are captured on our albums “Every Kind of Light” (2005) and “Blood Candy” (2010). Rest well, Matt. You will be missed”.
There s a type of comics that try to relate to our daily lives, trying to extract a nugget of wisdom, laughter, and good emotions. Goattoself comics, on the other hand, are another type: they push the absurdity of the situation to the extreme and reveal the hilarity that may ensue from such ridiculous situations. Sure, there may be a relatable moment here and there, but personified objects and caricature-like characters that border on the extreme have a reality of their own.
Cameron Spires, the man behind these comics, is a polite Canadian comic artist who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. By day, he s an advertising copywriter, and by night, he s the eccentric comic creator that just wants to make people laugh. To him, making these comics scratches a particular kind of itch that, in his opinion, stems from the classic middle-child syndrome (the seeking of attention). And the bizarre-yet-accurate humor of the comic certainly gets it.

What comes out of the president s mouth and understand that everybody makes mistakes and when mistakes are made, mistakes are corrected. when you see this occur, you have to ask that question, and also ask the question about why nobody from the podium at the white house if the president didn t want to correct himself, why nobody from the podium said the president was using an outdated forecast and we ve since corrected it. why couldn t someone come out and say that for him, if he didn t want to do it himself. hard to understand. well, twitter had a field day with it, so i ll put up some of the things they think president trump could change with a sharpie. you see the crowds for his inauguration and drawn in stick figures with a black sharpie to fill in some of these faces. on the top of the right site,
