This is probably true; in the Press Packet (tm) they sent me promoing
a show in '89-'90 or so, they claimed that "Turn On (to thee acid
house)" was the first song ever to use "acid house" in the title. I
thought "who the fuck cares" and duly put it in my column announcing
their show. (I have no idea if it's true or not).

This seems to be true of ex-Throbbing Gristle members in general...
Chris & Cosey have been all over the map as well, sometimes OK, mostly
not. IMHO, of course.
