This guy is very weird....but quite awesome....I have come acquainted with him because he will be opening for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion this summer...and wow, I am looking forward to seeing him in action. Have any of you heard of this guy and have a little background? If not, follow the link, check out his video 'Boob Scotch' and gimme your thoughts:

I ran across this guy through a Tom Waits quote (http://tomwaits.radicalwacko.com/). I haven't heard enough to make a judgement call on his music, but he certainly seems a little strange.
And he's big in Japan. http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/International/Special/BobLog/

I have seen him live. He is very entertaining and his music is pretty good. Some of it gets a bit samey but you never get bored 'cos he is such an entertainer. He always asks for volunteers from the crowd, so get a few drinks down you before you go and keep him happy.
He also sells his own merch after his gigs. Have a chat with him, he's a nice guy.

Cool! Does he take off his helmet after the show?

Yeah, the mystery is kind of gone then but at least you get to chat to the guy.

I've seen him live 3 times and have been listening to him for about 5 years. He's awesome. The first time I saw him was without his helmet because the airline he flew in on lost it. He ended up using some curved piece of clear plastic instead.
