Dammit! Another one gone!

Hugely influential - s/he (and of course the rest of TG) made it possible for some of the music that followed to exist.

RIP

It's a sad day.

So much ground-breaking music.

Music that makes you wish you could just flip the top of your head open and scratch your brain.

Morphine!

Went to an exhibition where Cosey Fanni Tutti had some of her work up in the Tate. Lots of middle aged housewives perusing photos of big cocks. Was fun. With my g/f at the time.

"A prick in the hands of Pinter..."

This is a good one as well:

"They" kind of lost me with the transhumanism stuff, but...

I'm f**ked if I know.

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Dang, a truly unique individual! I discovered their music recently and was surprised by the amount of beauty mixed in there with cheeky provocation.

Good to see Peter Cook quoted. Same ability to irreverently take down conventions.

Met Genesis at a record store in SF, Haight district at 19 years old. Traded him a chrome skull ring we had lifted from a hipster shop to see his band Psychic TV. He was really nice to a young person, friendly and not at all rock star acting. Even me insinuating that PTV kinda sucked at that point.

One of those people who helps shape art and culture by being consistently a transgressive person and artist.

I was definitely influenced by Throbbing Gristle as a teenager, the early tenants of Industrial music in general. I would have liked to seen Genesis get old, I get the impression that s/he would have made as interesting of an 80 year old as William Burroughs. I'm glad s/he existed in the first place.

This is so sad. As someone who played in an industrial band in my late teens to early twenties. TG and PTV were an important influence on my musical development. Gone too soon.

Same feelings here. I was inluenced by this scene before I knew what it was or what I was.
Its sad to think about what was lost when influential creative people go, but, at the same time, I am so glad to see people like this get to ages like seventy. Not a great way to go out, but this is a human who lived!
