The world becomes a little less Kink-y

Sorry I'm a few days late on this, but RIP Pete Quaife of the Kinks. Let it be known that he was not just present when some of the world's most beautiful music was created, but he was vital in creating it.

Now I really shouldn't need an excuse to post this clip of "Sunny Afternoon." But it does show off one of his best basslines, and his laid back charm. As to the matching of these visuals with this lyric, I trust I don't have to explain the joke.

It's always sad when someone so cool dies. That's a great video we both enjoyed seeing - wintry breath and all.

Oh I loved that. At one point Ray even had to stop and rub his hands together.

Pete had quite the muttonchops, notice.
