A Loss

Condolences to Genesis Breyer P-Orridge for the loss pf his partner Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge 9 October of this year. Genesis P-Orridge is a central figure in several bands I have listened to over the years, Throbbing Gristle & Psychic TV/PTV3. Not so much for the quality of their music per se as what they create is for the most part harsh & grating (especially Throbbing Gristle) but he/they have a fierce anti-corporate DIY philosophy I greatly respect and a stubborn determination to do things their way. Plus much of the Psychic TV material is surprisingly accessible, I highly recommend Godstar & Roman P. in any of their various permutations as a good entry point.

Genesis & Lady Jaye were involved in an androgyne project, one that would erase the distinctions between masculine & feminine and to instead create an other - not exactly my cuppa tea but something I find interesting, there's entirely too much macho bs in this world and I think we'd all be far better off without it.
