Sad to hear about the passing of David Thomas of Pere Ubu. Seeing a HyperCard-based Pere Ubu interactive project in the early '90s was an influence on the original HyperCard version of Chaos Control. Years later, I got to ask him about it: “I love HyperCard. It’s a real crime they dropped it.”

Anne Bandez (aka Little Annie / Annie Anxiety) has a new compilation of past collabs with artists like Marc Almond, Coil, Swans, and Kid Congo Powers—mournful torch songs, abstract electronics, and experimental lounge.
