What a legend. If WATMM has a mourning mode, it should probably be turned on now as none of us would be here if it wasn’t for her/him.

sad to hear that. r.i.p. 

godspeed..

Here’s an article from 2009 that’s kinda interesting:

Met him once at a Pigface show in the 90s, he was a wyrd one for sure.  Seemed cringy, and those charges of molesting his children always bothered me.  Recently bought Thee Psychick Bible.  Only Chris and Cosey are left. RIP

cmon.. at least have the decency to correctly gender them in death

Everyone said him at that point, but I understand.

The pedo-smear was a sad attempt to portray Genesis as guilty of the ultimate taboo, by a Tory govt in its death-throws. Climate of post Poll-Tax riots, post Castlemorton, by right wing anti-fun cunts who dispatched police pay party units nationally to close events, same cunts who brought the CJ-Bill in not long after (Coronavirus mention here recently re rights of assembly).

Ironically, the main work cited was a theatrical but legit video Sleazy did for a proposed track/work (check EHR for multiple sources & The Lyre of Orpheus by C Partridge). I love Coil, but there’s repugnant video still around they did with under age kids in Thailand that is fairly unambiguous. Simply Superior had posts on this:

Was GPO a rampant egotist? Most def. Involved in immature forays into supposedly edgy cultural stupidity & esoterrorism? Very much so. But was a smear campaign run by the sketchier spectrum of the Tory establishment? To the max. Weird thing was they waited so long, hence including the broader contexts above. People forget what a cancer the Tory establishment were/are.

Summary - Hamburger Lady.

After Sleazy moved to Asia, I kinda got the suspicion he might be a chickenhawk.  But I'm not trying to smear the deceased.

He made good chicken.

RIP Kenny

Had a close connection to this one since I was a little kid:

She really is a sweet and very generous Christian.  Used to be my boss.

Wait, so if you defeated Rubin Farr you had to fight Dolly Parton? Nintendo always was ahead of the curve.

dolly is a gem and a legend. she's super generous. big reading program she created to get free books to kids. all kinds of nice stuff she's done over the years.. aside from just being a super savvy badass. 

RIP kenny.  kenny rogers jackass is amazing. he took that character impression to weird places for a long time. 

RIP Gabi Delgado ... DAF (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft )  frontman ... electro pioneers

RIP Albert Uderzo ...

damn, legend, RIP.

Oh no ... one of the truly, truly staggeringly great greats.

Terrible writer, of course, but *such* a fantastic artist.

Years ago I visited an exhibition that featured some of his original work. Truly mindblowing to think that came out of the hands of a fellow human being.
