Re: Andy Gill RIP
Many years ago I bought a cassette copy of A Brief History of the 20th Century from the cutout bin of a local record chain. I knew very little about the band: they were British and they were listed as "post-punk" and they had an interesting name. I'm glad I took a chance on it because it was such incredible music from top to bottom, but the thing that really jumped out was Andy Gill's guitar playing: cold, twitchy, electric, angular...yet catchy. I hear his influence in so many modern bands that have seemingly built themselves around imitating Andy Gill's guitar sound.

Re: Andy Gill RIP
Just looked at his Wikipedia page because I'd never heard about cause of death. It says pneumonia-related organ failure, but his wife has suggested it might have been COVID-19, as the band toured China in November 2019.

I mentioned this to a friend a few weeks into lockdown — sudden/unexpected mystery respiratory illness sounds like it fits.
