Gary Smith - producer and manager of a ton of bands I love - died the other day.  He ran Fort Apache Studios in Boston, and produced Pixies, Throwing Muses, Tanya Donelly, the Feelies, Blake Babies, The Connells, Juliana Hatfield, Scrawl, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant, and Billy Bragg.  A lot of great stuff was produced at Fort Apache including Uncle Tupelo's No Depression, Radiohead, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Superchunk, and Yo La Tengo.  Sad day.

Billy Bragg (who co-owned Fort Apache at one point) wrote a nice piece on Facebook and also noted "The Mermaid Avenue tracks that just feature Natalie Merchant and myself were recorded under Gary's supervision at the Fort."
