Mark Hollis - RIP




Good grief, Peter Tork last week and the voice of Talk Talk this week. Mark Hollis may have pretty much vanished from the music scene altogether back in 1998 but the singles Talk Talk, It's My Life and Life's What You Make It remain three of the very best from the 80s, grown up and sophisticated pop that still sound great almost 40 years later. If you've not heard 'em (unlikely I know but it's remarkable how some people are oblivious to anything other than Ariana Grande) give 'em a spin. I'd never seen this footage of a run through another classic single, Dum Dum Girl, before. Nice to see the real geezer behind the dark shades for a change.

RIP Mark.
