One of my favourite singer songwriters who sadly died on Christmas Day at the ridiculous age of 45.
First came across him with his fine 2003 album 'Silver Lake' and have loved his stuff ever since.

A man who despite suffering for most of his adult life, still managed to produce beautiful music.
He will be sadly missed

I saw Kimya Dawson talk about him on Twitter, I wasn't really that familiar with his music but he is on The Late Great Daniel Johnston album (and before anyone says anything Daniel Johnston isn't dead, that's the actual name of the album)

I've been listening to this song alot since discovering it a few week ago and it's suddenly become even more poignant

R.I.P.

Rest in peace, Vic.
