Ryan Faulconer (1976-2024) was a key friend all these years. We lost him too soon in January so in a celebration of his life, we feature some of his favourite songs and then Jeff Beal's score to 2001's Pollock, a film that spoke dearly to him.

He had a show called Super Sonic Vision on CILU 102.7FM in Thunder Bay for a few years. I hope someone recorded at least one of his shows.

“Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.” —Jackson Pollock

And it's Phil Spector, not Ron. What a way to ruin a eulogy.
Ryan Faulconer died from pneumonia, stemming from complications of Dandy Walker Malformation on January 11; he was 47 years old.
