Sad. Their music has truly been an inspiration to me over the last few years. I hate it when this happens.

Thoughts and prayers to friends and family...

can't believe this. we were hanging out half a year ago in Moscow. he was such a sweet guy.

WTF!!! What happened???

They've only just released their new album as well (which is a fucking stunning piece of work!)

Fuck! gutted about this!

can someone repost the text on here as myspace is blocked at work.

tis indeed very sad.

Charles Wesley Cooper, III




Hello, Everyone.

It breaks my heart to inform you all that Charlie Cooper, my better half in Telefon Tel Aviv, passed away on January 22nd.

We have been friends since high school, and began making records together a decade ago. We have been so fortunate to tour the world together, while at the same time having a massive amount of laughs at one another's expense.

Aside from Charlie's singular genius and musical gifts, I can tell you that he was a total sweetheart of a guy, and a loving friend and confidant to people everywhere. His musicianship was surpassed only by his greater gift to the world - his warmth, his generosity, his unquenchable humor, and his undying loyalty to those whom he loved. In the spirit of honorable mention, however, I should mention that he had a shoe collection that was marvelous, knowledge of hip-hop that was profound, and knowledge of wine that was subtle.

He is survived by a sister, a neice, a nephew, his mother, his stepfather, me, and more adoring friends than the Universe has dark matter. As such, his family and I ask for your discretion and consideration of our privacy during these extremely turbulent waters.

Yours in Music,

Joshua Eustis

upside down...

That sucks

damn! he was quite young,or not?

That destroyed my day!
i was very happy, i read yesterday they were coming in town. they have been one of the greatest band in my hart

This is such a sad day.
Reading it, but i just can't believe it, don't know what to say.

/dom

man, i know death is natural part of life, but something about humble people you "know" who speak to your heart through their music passing, makes things so much worse.

I've only heard a handful of tracks from these guys, and remember watching the Ableton video with them over n over back in the day when deciding to buy Live. This is just real sad.

My condolences to his family and friends, and even to those fans who knew him (im reading from the posts alot of people here may have chilled with him before, so its equally tough).

R.I.P.
