K-punk K-plunk

K-plunk: Part 1

I've been so busy posting that it's been awhile since I did a more thorough examination of recent additions to The Deaths in 2017 site.  Perusing the names for any that stand out, I come to:


We have an addition to the "Fisher/Fish/Fin Theme" pattern-cluster that began last month with a series of 8 posts entitled "Fisher". On Mark's wiki page, the 1st notable person talks about Mark's blog, k-punk:
 Simon Reynolds described it in 2009 as the centre of a "constellation of blogs 
The surname Reynolds stands out, given my recent December 29 post, Fisher 8: Great Gore :
  • Mary Frances "Debbie" Reynolds (April 1, 1932 – Dec 28, 2016) 
On December 23, 2016, Reynolds' daughter, actress and writer Carrie Fisher, suffered a heart attack on a transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles. 
Actress (Reynolds) dies 2 days after her daughter/actress (Fisher)!! Note from Simons wiki page:
 Simon Reynolds (born 19 June 1963) music journalistcritic, and author
Note his birthday and note the following from my previous post:
  • Bobby Helms  (August 15, 1933 – June 19, 1997)(1933-1997) singer 
  • Chet Helms (August 2, 1942 – June 25, 2005) American rock promoter  
 ...  June 19 is also the date of the very first post to this blog, Censoring Around Michael Jackson's Death (RIIP)that involves the timely death of Michael Jackson on June 25
Now note this next excerpt from
In 2009, Fisher edited The Resistible Demise of Michael Jackson, a collection of critical essays on the career and death of Michael Jackson, and published
 There's another thing to consider: The title of Mark's blog, "k-punk", reminds me of "kerplunk" (often pronounced "k-plunk"):
ker·plunkTo fall with a sound like that of a heavy object falling into water.
That "water" crops up is "timely" in that its an addition to the "Fish... Theme" pattern cluster.... and so another design influence of the inner twin world.  And "plunk" is a word, note the etymology:
  •  plunk (v.) ..."drop down abruptly;" 1888 as "to hit, wound, shoot."
Note this next excerpt from Mark's wiki page:
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and philosophy at Hull University
The name "Hull" is also a word-- the part of a boat... now note the title of my previous post:Helm Help, ... again, helm is the part of a boat... and boat jives with water and fish!!
