R.I.P. Peter Christopherson
The sad news has reached us that Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson has died in his sleep last night at the age of 55. Chris Carter twittered "Our dearest beautiful Sleazy left this mortal coil as he slept in peace last night. Words cannot express our grief." and the TG site simply displays the message "Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson 1955 - 2010".
Read some of the reactions to Sleazy's death from his friends and colleagues here.

A thank you from Danny Hyde
November last year, Danny Hyde auctioned off some rare Coil records and memorabilia. Part of the proceeds went to the Dark Star Woodland Fund in memory of John Balance, and a large part has paid for a new studio. Go here to see a thank you message from Danny to the people who bought from that auction.

Sacred-Profane
Peter Christopherson has set up Sacred-Profane, a site showcasing his "unmusical works". The site can be found here.
