I've been listening to FR all morning. Chubbystackz alerted me to a pretty public meltdown he had last year on Twitter as well, so I'm really hoping he was just venting again and is okay. If all is well, he's going to be pretty embarrassed when he returns and sees how much attention this has gotten. I swear I'll never forgive Sasquatch for not rescheduling their set that was cancelled due to the wind. They rescheduled a Seattle band a set on the Yeti, but sent the band from fucking Scotland packing. I'm still upset, and now worried about the likelihood of me ever getting to see them now.

He does have a bit of a history of getting drunk and having emo Twitter meltdowns. But if he is missing and people are worried IRL, that is very concerning. The combination of alcoholism and depression is nothing to fuck around with. I really hope he didn’t go off and do something stupid last night.

Looks like a body was found. No positive ID yet, as per BBC.

This is just a terrible way to wake up today. Truly terrible.

I don't really have the energy or strength to pour my heart into another post, so I'm just going to post what I already said on Facebook this morning:
I never got to see Frightened Rabbit. They were one of the first indie rock bands I discovered in my early 20s, and I was absolutely ecstatic this past February when they released a celebratory 10 year anniversary vinyl reissue of their debut album. At Sasquatch 2016, [my wife] and I went into the festival earlier than the rest of our campmates so I could finally see one of my favorite bands of the past decade. Aside from The Cure, they were my most anticipated set of the entire weekend, maybe of the entire year. The high winds that day had other plans, and their set ended up getting postponed and eventually cancelled all together, and even though the festival seemingly scrambled to find alternative set times for a few of the cancelled artists, Frightened Rabbit wasn’t one of them. I sat on that Gorge hill for two hours hoping they would eventually take the stage, but it never happened. They left without ever performing. Today the body of Scott Hutchinson, their frontman, one of my favorite modern artists, was tragically discovered two days after disappearing and posting what many of us feared was a suicide note. My mind will now continue to sit on that hill hurting for Scott and longing for that set, while wondering what happened and what could have happened differently. I suppose I just hope he’s at peace now, but I’m really sad today.

I am pretty fucked up about this today. Don't wait for your friend with depression to come to youfor help. Call them. Let them know you care and your life wouldn't be complete without them. Make today National Hug A Sad Person Day.

Today has been so rough. Been listening to FR and all Scott's other projects all day. I had the pleasure of seeing FR perform at the Knitting Factory in Spokane in 2013 and it was one of the most memorable concerts of my life. FR was definitely a perennial band as I started expanding my musical taste I can't even really express the importance their music has had on me. Depression fucking sucks and I don't really know what else to say. Here's one of my favorite lyrics from Scott:
“When my blood stops, someone else’s will thaw. When my head rolls off, someone else’s will turn. And while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to Earth.”
