It's not often that all of Flashlight agree on an artist, and I'm actually guessing on this one as well, but it would take someone with a very hard heart not to be saddened by the death of Alex Chilton on Wednesday of a suspected heart attack. Revered for his work with the Box Tops as a teenager and later Big Star, Chilton was hailed as a genius by fans and bands alike and was held up as one of the great cult artists.

There's not too much that can be said in a short news item about such a brilliant songwriter and musician, so watch this space for a full tribute...

In the meantime, just go and stick on Radio City and pay your respects...
