It's All Gone Weird

Very sad to report that Nihilist Spasm Band vocalist and front-person, Bill Exley , has died. https://museumlondon.ca/news/2025/museum-london-remembers-bill-exley https://theorgangrindersgazette.blogspot.com/2025/07/rip-bill-exley.html Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore had this to say (posted to Instagram three days ago): "Bill Exley the greatest lead vocalist in the history of music has passed away. So grateful to have seen him perform with his legendary group Nihilist Spasm Band in their home base of London Ontario as well as NYC and have actually had the honor of jamming with them. Bill was astonishing. Johnny Rotten was Bobby Goldsboro compared to this guy. We will miss him." - William A. Davison

I have an article on the three cassette labels I've run over the past four decades ( Rembrandt X-Ray , Anathema , and Disembraining Songs ) appearing in issue #10 of Chris Gibson's "Untitled" zine! This is, hopefully, the start of a series of articles on Canadian tape labels from the 80s/90s. You may purchase copies of Untitled #10 at  https://buriedinslaganddebris.bigcartel.com/ - W.A.Davison

My early 90s experimental film "Origami Meat Play" is being screened as a video installation at this year's Hradby Samoty festival in Slovakia! https://www.hradbysamoty.org/ - W.A.Davison
