Elmo Pimps Hoes. Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. Pontiac, we build excitment. Kurt Cobain.
[More:]
esley Willis was a schizophrenic artist and musician from Chicago. I don't know why, but I find his spare three chord compositions and rants oddly soothing. Wes sounds like he was a good guy.

Alternative Tentacles has twenty three of his songs available for download. I would recomend starting with I'm Running My Inkpen and I'm Sorry That I Got Fat.
Taste a panda's ass.

Wes sounds like he was a good guy.

It also sounds like he was always having a good time when he played. and that feeling is infectious.

Yeah, whatever his past was like and whatever his demons music seemed to chase the bad things away.

Actually, the only other song/lyric generator I'd be interested in seeing is one for King Buzzo. A friend tried to get me to build one, but I'm lazy. Rock over London!

There was a great thread about him on MetaFilter right after he died. I got a bunch of tribute covers via that thread.
