Peace of piss


After being thrown out of England for instigating riots and whatnot Charlie Peace has become a spokesman for disaffected youth in Detroit. While UK music fans may know him for his pioneering, pre-exile “electro-hop” work, he is now firmly ensconced within the Detroit sound art scene. Our correspondent Chris Carmichael met up with Charlie in Lisbon.
Gnome: I see you’re sporting a new tattoo Charlie, what’s the inspiration behind that?
CP: Well, it’s the USB logo. I primarily chose that because it represents the yin and yang of contemporary IT culture. We can interface with machines but in the end we are just a component part of a larger system. My wife has the same tattoo on both of her tits.
