The co-founder and the guitarist of the Stockholm post-punk band Viagra Boys, has died aged 47. Representatives of the band shared this lovely note with Pitchfork: “Benjamin or “Benis” as we knew him, spread laughter and happiness wherever he went and we will cherish the memories we have of touring the world together. Benjamin, we love you with all of our hearts and Viagra Boys would have been nothing without you. This planet just lost one the good ones”.

Viagra Boys and Amy Taylor cover John Prine's song 'In Spite of Ourselves' about the fact that there's love for anybody; Foo Fighters released 'No Son of Mine', a song Dave Grohl said was their version of David Bowie’s 'Let’s Dance'; the Stellar band consisted of Yves Tumor, Kelsey Lu, Kelly Moran & Moses Boyd shares an art-pop single 'Let All The Poisons That Lurk In The Mud Seep Out'; Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy release a cover of Lou Reed’s 'Rooftop Garden' with George Xylouris.
