Marcus Werner Hed and Dan Fox’s Other, Like Me: The Oral History of Coum Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle, which NY-premiered February 24 as part of this year’s hybrid Doc Fortnight, certainly lives up to its billing as “a unique portrait of living for art’s sake.” The story began in the UK’s pre-punk days in Hull — a port city never to be remembered for its music scene — when a group of resident weirdos rebranded themselves as Coum Transmissions and began staging colorful happenings on the city’s grey streets.
