Punk music chronicler dies in pool accident.

Absolutely gutting. Dixon edited the outstanding website for The Pop Group and its mp3 blog.

I only ever corresponded with him via a few emails, but he was obviously a great guy, who took all this internet archivery very seriously and provided a great resource for everyone, in his own time, out of his own pocket.

Somewhat eerily, the last entry on the site’s news page is an email from me reporting on various bloggers’ reviews of the UK Maffia gigs.
