i have always wanted to see a gallery show of Paul McCarthy and Paul McCartney juxtaposed against each other.

― fongoloid sangfroid (sanskrit), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 09:50 (twenty years ago)

I picked McCarthy's book up once, and thought "BLIMEY! He's not messing around with this art thing!"

Then I realised I'd misread the name.

Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw in Destroy All Monsters (original and current versions - not with Ron Asheton)
Gary Panter&Jay Condom and Raymond Pettibon & Supersession - those picture discs on Blast First
Stephen Prina in Red Krayola & solo
Martin Kippenberger also released a bunch of music - I think he usually played drums and sang.
and I believe Julian Schnabel put out an album not too long ago.
