Can’t believe the news about Dan Sartain. He was great and those first two records are right up there with the best of the 00s. RIP #DanSartain 😔
Was looking over this Dan Sartain feature just a few months back. Met him across a 1950s Formica table in the New Piccadilly and asked about the Johnny Cash comparisons: "I think I prefer 'Chris Isaak hooked up to jumper cables'." An absolute star. RIP. theguardian.com/music/2005/dec…
