Logan Whitehust was an independent artist that died of a brain tumor at the age of 29, just a few weeks ago. His music has really been an influence on my stuff as of late, and I wish he would have lived longer.
He had an impact on many people, including Neil Cicierega, or Lemon Demon, and an independent filmaker, Jason Steele. Jason set up an archive for his music, which includes everything except his last 2 albums, Goodbye My 4-Track, and The Very Tiny Songs album, which are on sale in a few places, including iTunes, and the proceeds go to his family.
