Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orrdige RIP

from BoingBoing

Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge, wife of industrial music pioneer Genesis P-Orridge and member of Psychic TV, died of heart failure on Tuesday. Lady Jaye and Genesis were in the midst of an ongoing life-art project to make them look more alike through matching breast implants, haircuts, and other body modifications. The aim was to merge their identities into a single "pandrogynous" being, named Breyer P-Orridge. We send our condolences to Gen and the extended Psychic TV family.

I did a piece on the P-Orridges and the new incarnations of Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle a couple months ago on outsideleft. PTV/TG has had a big impact on me in my life, not that I want to be some rivet-head, quasi cult acolyte, or that I am entertaining body modification options, but keeping up with their brazen out-ness was and is an anathema to my increasing normality. So long, we hardly knew ya.
