R.I.P. David Thomas

Very sad to hear that Pere Ubu frontman David Thomas has died. He was a highly unique and entertaining vocalist and a powerful presence on stage and in recordings. I don't think I've mentioned Pere Ubu on this blog before but they are definitely among my favorite weird rock bands. I'll post a few links (although, I'm mostly familiar with their early stuff).
