This month Arctic Monkeys lost bassist Andy Nicholson, Panic! At The Disco lost bassist Brent Wilson ... and now Deerhoof loses bassist Chris Cohen.
It's true what they say about bassists quitting in threes.
Pitchfork also has two other fun Deerhoof news items today. The band (A) recently turned down Payless (!) from using "Twin Killers" in a commercial, and (B) posted a new 9-song MP3 on their website. Tunes include covers of the Beatles, My Bloody Valentine, Canned Heat, and Herman's Hermits, and five live cuts. The download is allegedly available here, though I'm having problems accessing it at the moment. If you succeed, let us know which MBV song. And isolate it from the rest of the EP and send to me!
