RIP Mark Stewart. anton webern meets jerry lee lewis meets scratch perry. Immediately blew past punk, the distraction that let him in. Better than the power-tool-sensibility industrial after.

"TASTE IS A FORM OF PERSONAL CENSORSHIP
TECHNIQUE IS A REFUGE OF THE INSECURE"

Compared to his more famous peers: Talking Heads lack Webern; Nick Cave lacks Tubby; The Residents lack Lewis; The Fall lack everything.

His worldview is irrelevant to me. It is equally impressive to always be *exactly* half a key out.

A lot of his canonical recordings are incredibly badly mastered so beware; go to bandcamp
