He's left the Bad Seeds, presumably because he hasn't the time to do that and keep Neubauten going too - the latter are in the process of going all indie and running nearly all of their own affairs (and are currently recording), which must keep him fairly busy in itself.
A sad day, but on the other hand he's done a fine job being in two high-profile bands for so long.
Guess so. Still, which demigod is he going to have to draft in to replace him? Howard Devoto on backing vocals? Will Oldham on kazoo? Beck on spoons and theremin? Diamanda Galas on tuba? Patti Smith on the washboard?
These days, when someone says "Have you heard about . . ." it means they've been charged with possession of internet porn. Or they're having an affair with Amanda Holden, whoever she may be.
