Yes. You know, I knew you'd be the first -- and maybe only -- of my LJ friends to comment on this. Thanks for having excellent taste and thanks for sharing the loss.

And btw, what triggered the Nomi userpic obsession? Haven't seen that recent documentary about him yet, but want to v. much...

Well, I knew who Nomi was from hearing his cover of "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" at a club years ago, but until I saw The Nomi Song on my birthday last year (so, one year ago as of this coming Friday), I wasn't really aware of his wonderfulness. :) He was so adorable to me that I just kept wanting to make more and more icons featuring him. He had such an expressive face. I'm now a huge fan; in fact, I'm a bigger Nomi fan than I am a U2 fan now.

I love the documentary and would absolutely recommend it.

And more people should know the Go-Betweens...

Sorry, I should've thought to alert you. Didn't take the chance to see TG-Bs play here a few months back and do I ever regret it now...
