David also said in an interview, that the Twinkeyz were his favorite band!

Thanks so much for this piece. Thomas was such a towering figure here in the Northeast Ohio underground music scene, it's really hard to believe he's gone. I thought for sure I'd yet get to see another Ubu performance here, sometime.

The Modern Dance is an utterly perfect record from start to finish. Thank you for this appreciation of Ubu and Thomas's music, and relating it to all that you did. That album definitely stacks up against the touchstones you mention -- and yes, I would definitely add Third Reich & Roll to those!

Long live Pa Ubu! Long live David Thomas!
