A couple of months ago, I ordered a couple of Eugene Chadbourne's latest releases.
Not only has Eugene Chadbourne a very specific and unique style of playing and performing, he's also an accomplished D.I.Y. (do it yourself) artist, producing his albums on CDR, packed in all sorts of paper work (from photocopied papers to reworked old cardboard vinyl covers) and distributing these from his home office or during his concerts.
His output is quite impressive and hard to follow, but I do try to keep track as he did tour with Jimmy Carl Black as 'The Jack And Jim Show" quite some years ago, and he's also known to play a lot of cover versions including tunes by my favorite artists.

Recorded during Jack and Jim’s final tour in Japan in 2008, at the Pit Inn club in Tokyo, Japan. Featuring Eugene Chadbourne on banjo, guitar, vocals and rake, and Jimmy Carl Black on drums and vocals, "Zappa Day" presented an (almost) all-Zappa set.
