Anyone come across this guy before? Sort of the bastard son of Derek Bailey and John Fahey, or something.

It's either genius or madness. I think I'm coming down on the side of genius.

BigLicks67

He's on the Marc Riley show a lot, seems to use some real elastic band tunings.

It's ....challenging. Which I suppose is a good thing.

Robert Fripp on heavy drugs?
Hmm ok that was unfair .. weird but curious.

Idly googling.. this is lovely- he should be more widely known:

proggy

Not sure about the music but I'll give him 9/10 for enthusiasm.

dogload

I really like him. I love his guitar sound too - well gnarly!

SNAKEBITE

I really liked his books and agree with his stance on creationism, but didn't realised he played the guitar as well.

I thought his bother, Les, was funnier.

rossi

I heard he had a creek  named after him .

this is epic, like a deranged Ennio Morricone.

SNAKEBITE

I loved Morricone and Wise, especially the breakfast sketch.

He is fantastic. A bandmate played one of his albums in the van a couple years ago, I was impressed.

He I superb. I can't view the videos just now so not sure what has been posted but hopefully one of them is The Vile Stuff - it is a work of genius! I came to him late after hearing that song and that's still the only album I own (Nothing Important) - I need to buy more.

Keep thinking thread this is about Richard Dawkin's praise of Muslim ladies linking arms accross the Thames

Emperors new clothes, comes to mind. Good on him for getting so much work, playing that stuff.

Well, IMO he plays crap, so if he's getting paid for doing so, I say, well done.
