From DJ ROBOT MONSTER:

“On Saturday, April 6th Joseph ‘SEMZ’ McCarthy passed away suddenly in his home on Staten Island.  SEMZ –VGL-GFC-IRAK was a legendary surface killer who left his mark just about everywhere in his time.  Most importantly he left his mark on all those he encountered, he was much loved for his honest and gentle soul.  All over the web and the walls of NYC tributes are popping up, keep your eyes open for many more in the days to come.  Please take a moment to reflect on the loss of a great believer.”
