Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <https://www.furious.com/perfect/index0224.html>, you'll find (among other things):
PAT IRWIN
Interview- Raybeats, no wave & cartoon music, by John Wisniewski
"After studying with John Cage in Paris, Irwin came to NYC and dived into the no wave scene of the late '70's, becoming a member of 8-Eyed Spy with Lydia Lunch and later working with her on her solo debut. Around then, he also formed 'neo-surf' band the Raybeats with Spy bassist George Scott. After a few albums, the band broke up in '84 and Irwin would then record and tour with the B-52's, whom he had met back when he first came to New York. In the late '80's, Irwin also began his long-standing work as a film, TV composer, working on documentaries, dramas and cartoons."
MAYO THOMPSON
Interview- surrealist soloist & Krayola years, by Jason Gross
"Someone like guitarist/singer/songwriter Mayo Thompson could have easily rested on his laurels as co-founder of Texas psychedelic art band Red Crayola, later as Red Krayola when the crayon people protested. But after the band broke up, he created the remarkably unique 1970 solo album Corky's Debt to His Father, which about 50 years later was revived by a series of L.A. and New York shows in the last few years."
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

See you online,
Jason
