This is two-day-old news, but sonic pioneer Robert Moog died at his home this past Sunday. He was 71 years old. The NY Times has a nice article on his work (reg. reqd.).
This struck me as especially eerie as I purchased a nice vinyl copy of Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach II at a tiny basement book sale in Warrenton, VA, just two weeks ago. One dollar very well spent on some of the best Moog music available. (Unrelated: I also found a vinyl recording of Shel Silverstein reading from Where the Sidewalk Ends.)
Anyway, rest in peace, Mr. Moog.
