Yup, bummer. Dischord released the following yesterday:

On August 13th we lost our dear friend and business partner, John Loder.

John ran Southern Studios in London and has worked with Dischord for the past twenty-one years overseeing the manufacturing and distribution of many of our releases. Without John and Southern, Dischord would have never been able to have done so much in that time.

While his brilliance with computers and distribution was unquestionable, John's first and foremost love was music. He operated a studio out of a garage behind his house in the Wood Green neighborhood in London and recorded a number of Dischord releases there including Fugazi's Margin Walker E.P in 1988 (these songs appear on the 13 Songs CD). He also engineered and produced records for Crass and bands that appeared on their label, Corpus Christi, as well as many others including The Subhumans, Babes in Toyland, Shellac, Ministry, PJ Harvey, and Jesus and the Marychain.

John spent the last year battling the effects of a serious seizure caused by a brain tumor, but his condition worsened in the last month. He died peacefully and with loved ones early Saturday morning.

The guy who invented the Moog is gravely ill at the moment also.

Jesus, that's sad.
Loder was involved in a load of my favourite records of all time.
AFAIK the guy was a huge influence on Steve Albini getting into engineering.

Too many good guys dying these days

Very sad news indeed. RIP John.
