Austin Osman Spare died years before Discordianism was 'discovered/invented/foisted upon humankind'. Spare *might* be considered a prophet of Discordianism.
But if Discordianism really is about poorly played accordion, then "there is no God but Weird Al, and Judy Tenuta is His prophet."
Kalliste!

Discordianism is a modern, chaos-centered religion founded circa 1958–1959 by Malaclypse the Younger with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia. It is widely regarded as a parody religion, and has been called "Zen for roundeyes", based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school. Discordianism recognizes chaos, discord, and dissent as valid and desirable qualities, in contrast with most religions, which idealize harmony and order. The religion is largely composed of whimsical and absurd ideas, though many adherents claim there is a deeper meaning to their flippant attitude. Eris is the matron deity of the religion.
It is difficult to estimate the number of followers and correctly identify Discordian groups. This is because of the anarchist ethic that pervades Discordianism , which is reflected in the encouragement to form schisms and cabals. Additionally, few adherents hold Discordianism as their only or primary faith. Instead, Erisians tend to adopt Discordianism as a complement to other faiths.

Austin Osman Spare was a famous developer of discordian and chaote philosophy, and he didn't exactly lead a glamorous life...

Close. Actually you have to crash a Honda Accord head-on really bad to make a Honda Accordian, and then wait for your potential buyers to come and DIS it.
On music: Accordian music arrangers never die, they just deCompose.
On lawyers' cars: Smart lawyers always buy Isuzu cars.
