Song of the Day: 'Look on Down From the Bridge' by Mazzy Star


Sad to read about the passing of David Roback, who led the 1980s Paisley Underground favorites known as the Rain Parade -- and later teamed with Hope Sandoval to create some of the best music of the 1990s as one-half of Mazzy Star, including the seminal tracks "Blue Flower," "Give You My Lovin'" and "Fade Into You" and perhaps their finest moment "Halah." I only recently learned he attended Palisades High School and later UC Berkeley with Susanna Hoffs, and that he and his brother his brother Stephen, a bass guitarist, formed a band with the future Bangle called the Unconscious. No cause of death has been released, but Roback was just 61. RIP.
