Tim Carr, an A&R exec who worked with the Beastie Boys, Megadeth, Babes in Toyland, David Byrne, Lush, Ash and others during stints with Capitol, Warner Bros. and Dreamworks, was found dead Wednesday in Thailand, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Thailand’s Pattaya 103fm.com. He was 57. 
 
Carr was reportedly found in his apartment with a deep stab wound in his chest amid signs of a disturbance and evidence of drug use, including prescription drugs. Police reportedly termed the circumstances of his death suspicious and are investigating. Thailand’s Pattaya One said Carr’s body was found by the owner of the apartment, and that other residents in the building had not seen anyone enter or leave “for some time.” [Read the rest at Billboard.com]

We are the Susan Lucci of the Grammys. We’re tied with Megadeth. We are both nominated again this year, so if they win, and we lose, we’ll be the band with the most nominations without a win.
Jerry Cantrell, of eight-time Grammy nominees Alice in Chains, in the Seattle Times
