Grammy-winning dub and reggae pioneer Lee "Scratch" Perry is 83 years old and still going strong. The man has "doused tape with blood, urine, and whiskey to bring out the fidelity of the spirits within the recorded sounds. He's buried microphones under a palm tree and banged the tree as a kick drum. He also allegedly defecated on the ground of his hallowed Black Ark Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, and molded the feces into a network of symbols. Then he burned the studio to the ground because he was angry that people were bootlegging his music," as Stranger contributor Trent Moorman reminded us back in 2015. Catch what you can catch of him while you can after a set from Subatomic Sound System.
