and I think there was a movie about him a while back as well? i dunno

I'd never heard of him until Benn Sollee included 'I Couldn't Say It To Your Face' on a covers EP and I thought damn, how have I never heard this wonderful song before. No surprise that the original is great.

Ben's version: https://bensollee.bandcamp.com/track/i-couldnt-say-it-to-your-face

Listening to that Necessaries link now... sounds quite nice; will have to revisit when I can concentrate on it.
