Rowland S. Howard died December 30 of liver cancer at the age of 50. I have to admit I haven't followed his career much since the Birthday Party but he was still playing and making music till the very end. His signature feedback laden guitar style was truly ahead of it's time.
The best one Australian rock musician was Rowland S.Howard, because he had a successful carrer,My favorite song is "The Nightwatchman" and the video in the blog is spectacular, I want to download it!!
Rowland S. Howard was definitely one of the greatest in that musical genre, however the excesive use of drugs was the principal cause to get cancer and to die so young.
This blog's intent is to talk about and promote the music we love. People forget that music is actual intellectual property and what the artists do for a living, so we don't want to cost the artists sales.

And as for the occasional bootleg or out-of-print rarity we post, well, still go out of your way to support the artist. Buy their albums, merchandise, catch a show. You get the idea. Just don't don't rip off the artists who went through all the effort making the wonderful music that entertains and inspires you.
Too true, very sad. He just released his new solo album only a few months ago too.
