In the midst of my obsession with life and death… comes more heavy-handed news. I was just living another day, watching an episode of Dead Like Me, when I decided to flip to my favorite forums on the Internet. Little did I know what I would learn next:
?
It was just announced that producer Adam Spears, known as Starkid, has just passed away. A lot has been said about this already. My words echo the deepest respect and sympathy expressed before me and if I had something to add, it'd be this: we have another tragic death in the EDM family. Adam's loved ones must be so devastated right now, especially because was on the cusp of releasing more progressive productions and delivering more dancefloor enjoyment in the due course of honoring his folks. Starkid's best-known production, "Crayons", was not the the kind of track I "got" at first, and I had to loop it several times to really "get" it. So I "get" it now, but it took awhile. I think that says something about life.

In another eerie connection, Starkid & Blake Jarrell put together a production called "Apricot". Now, Starkid is among the Stars, no doubt, making music from the unfathomable?heavens above.
