Throbbing Gristle's Genesis P-Orridge dies aged 70

Genesis P-Orridge, founding member of cult experimental bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, has died, Alternative Press reports. With Throbbing Gristle, Genesis helped pioneer the genre of industrial music. In later life, they became a "body evolutionist", proposing a new gender that was beyond male and female. Boing Boing made an interview with the musician - he talked about dying. Alexis Petridis wrote a lovely obituary describing the musician as a "troubling catalyst who loathed rock yet changed it for ever" by inventing industrial music.
