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.

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.

Folgers - it's good to the last drop.

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.
