Peter Stubb

Peter Stubb (not his actual name) is a man of many demons and many talents.  His lo-fi songs are so many different things all at once, and he's been writing them for at least 20 years now, home-dubbing cassette tapes and selling them in person or through the mail for the change in your pocket.  This is one of his more well-known tapes, Blueberry Masturbator, and the title alone should warn you that this isn't exactly a politically correct collection of songs.  Like I said, the man has a lot going on in his head, and it's great for us listeners that his outlet is writing weird, fucked up, heartwrenching, absolutely beautiful (and at times, horrifically disturbing) songs.  I have the inclination to say that this music isn't for everyone, but my heart is telling me that there is something so inherently human about Peter Stubb's music that everyone should listen to it and heed the perspective of this self-confessed madman...maybe he can remind us of the parts of ourselves that are constantly suffering, conflicted simply by the state of being stuck on this strange, fucked up plane.  Thanks to Greg/Remote Outposts for this album.
