Just read the sad news that Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and Coil has died aged 55. Here's an interview he gave in The Quietus a couple of months ago.
"we are all only temporary curators of our present bodies, which will all decay, sooner or later. In a hundred years or so ALL the humans currently alive will have died. I take great comfort in knowing, with certainty, that thing that makes us special, able to enrich our own lives and those of others, will not cease when our bodies do, but will be just starting and new (and hopefully even better) adventure..."
Sleazy, 2010
Here's the amazing Psychic TV album, 'Dreams Less Sweet' from 1983

ReplyDeleteTulley, did you ever know this guy? I never met him . . . not sure if he is real.
Absolutely terrible news. So gutted
ReplyDeleteSo McKenna, when you say 'Homage to Christopher' you're talking about some completely different Christopher, not the 'Christopherson' I'm paying homage to here who I actually care about, but some guy called Christopher, an american expat who lived in Prague briefly? That seems deliberately misleading and in poor taste.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, according to his blog (first option when you google his name), the Christopher unrelated to this post you're looking for appears to be real, and in Pittsburgh writing shite poetry.
Dear Tulley, thank you for showing the error of my ways. Everything purely coincidental!
ReplyDeleteOn a completely unrelated note, Enter the Void is now on piratebay.
You're welcome McKennoid.
ReplyDeleteCool I'm gonna get it.
