Pioneer tennis coach dies
Nick Bollettieri, the larger-than-life coach whose famed Florida tennis academy changed the face of the game has died at the age of 91.
One of the most influential coaches in my lifetime. He was a big part of building US dominance in the sport during the 90s

I never would have guessed he was that old.

I was slightly too young for the Clean first time around. They had a massive reputation amongst many american indie bands in the 90's. I only went back and listened to their stuff after hearing members of Pavement, Sonic Youth etc gush about how influential they were.. the reputation was deserved

@Crucial That’s really sad news. I’m sure you remember how pervasive The Clean were in the early 80s. Boodle Boodle then Great Sounds Great were everywhere, especially on student radio, and set the template for the lo-fi Dunedin Sound. Beatnik and End of my Dream are still faves to this day.
Hamish was a good bloke to catch up with after a gig. As down to earth as you could wish for. I remember him suggesting once that my stereo was too good and I should blunt the needle a bit.
Go well.

Every now and then the music world needs to be pulled back to basics and The Clean were one of those bands that did just that in their period.
