"I don't find anything I've done shocking"

Lydia Lunch would, frankly, be terrifying as a bandmate or acquaintance - but she's reliably good value as an interviewee. Here she is, giving appropriately chaotic answers to the Guardian's 10 Chaotic Questions - talking about Suicide's Alan Vega and The Birthday Party's Rowland S Howard (but, pointedly, not Nick Cave), assaulting a belligerent misogynist at one of her shows, how she won't have a funeral, how pop culture is "an existential vacuum", her hatred of sandwiches, and a fake agony aunt letter about whether it's possible to get salmonella from ejaculating into a Thanksgiving turkey.
