I don't think there are any.

duh

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

Are you talking about his current band Die Trip Computer Die?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

Just tell 'em, "Git yerself some Die Trip Computer Die ceedeez."

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

it could be current stuff with some of the same "spirit". doesn't have to sound exactly the same or anything. i have never heard die trip computer die. i heart l.voag solo rekkerd tho. i cherish my copy.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

It is brilliant.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

And there are two of them - an ep and and an lp.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

But I assume you were talking about the album? That's the one I called brilliant.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

Which is not to say that the ep is not good also.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

yeah. i have the lp.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

i bought it from my friend bob who was in the strapping fieldhands. who sometimes reminded me of the homosexuals. maybe you do have to go back to siltbreeze daze. there was vim & vigour there. pre-post-ironic rekkerdcollectorrock.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

Vim and vigour maybe, but no Vision like the Homos'.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

So I would advise telling them that what they like in the Homos is probably the Vision and if you like Vision then you oughta get the last OF MONTREAL ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 02:45 (twenty years ago)

cause co-motion maybe?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

WHAM?

Sorry- been drinking.

How about Magazine?

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

This is a really bad time to be posting about a group called the homosexuals. It might cause confusion.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 04:27 (twenty years ago)

Dan Selzer to thread? :)

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

I like the homosexuals. I also like the blacks and the muslims.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 05:17 (twenty years ago)

I always thought the poppier Animal Collective stuff touches on the folkier side of the Homosexuals.

I didn't really dig Die Trip Computer Die so much though, just one or two songs from the 2 CDs I bought.

Some of the guitar and delay stuff on the George Harrassment LP sounds like Roy Montgomery's 4 trk stuff.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

Soft Targets.

― Mike Dixon, Tuesday, 27 December 2005 07:26 (twenty years ago)

C&C Music Factory.

Oh. You said "current."

― vartman (novaheat), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 19:49 (twenty years ago)

L'voags new stuff is pretty good, but he's always been my favourite homosexual (uh..). What about Bruno nowadays? Did anyone actually like the Homosexuals (in exile) last summer?

― clicktalk, Wednesday, 28 December 2005 11:06 (twenty years ago)

Absolutely, they were great. The band he played with in NY was different then London though. In London it was a bunch of kids, including I think Polly Styrene's daughter, and the reviews I got from friends weren't so positive. But in New York he was backed by the baltimore/Morbius punk band the Fuses I think, or Oranges Band, one of those, and they were great. They definately punked it up and Bruno got really into it. They played twice in NYC, one show was opening for Suicide at the Knitting Factory, the other show was at a tiny polish bar in Greenpoint called Tommy's Tavern that we put together, with Dan Melchior and the Tall Boys opening up. I also had the Tall Boys open for the Nightingales, they were my go-to band for playing with post-punk relics I guess! Anyway, the show was sweaty as hell, packed as can be and people seemed to have a great time.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

all i remember about that show is it being sweaty

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

Also, Jennifer Gentle. Am listening to Funny Creatures Lane and some of it has a psychedelic folk/punk weirdness thing going on that a Homosexuals fan may like.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Good call!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

i just found myself recommending JJ to a fan of Syd-era Floyd and Mr. Bungle (and not much else). this band is all things to all people! pity they just aren't very good.

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

not very good? I'm enjoying them quite a bit.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure how to verbalize what i want from them, but they're always falling short of it. one completely satisfying CD could prolly be distilled from their three albums. But who has the time for that.

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

i'm surprised they haven't been namechecked, because The Double may be the nearest we have going to a solidly "RIYL: The Homos"-able group. From the recorded evidence, i'll admit they're far from "there" yet. But they might be someday. they seem to have the right idea. and would Matador mislead us!?

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

the double played one of the best shows i've seen, but the new album is pretty disappointing by comparison. the homosexuals would never have occurred to me as a comparison point.

die trip computer die are GREAT. dan, you can always give those cds that you don't like very much to me (as i've suggested a few times over the years, i believe).

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

AQ wrote ofPalm Fronds: "A very bizarre and unlikely blend of Morrissey, Jandek, Throbbing Gristle, Oval, Wolf Eyes, Pere Ubu and Magnetic Fields!"

doing the math gets me on or around the sound of the Homosexuals. ymmv of course.

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

The new 2005/6 Die Trip Computer Die CD - 'Die Like a Rock' is brilliant. I felt that the band have really come of age with this collection of intelligent, funny and, yes, catchy songs performed and constructed with a sonic knowingness, inventiveness and skill that is by turns breath-taking, hilarious and dumb-founding. This may be a classic. Everytime I listen it sounds as fresh as the first.

four months pass...

is that "pretzel"/"supposed" one of the greatest 45 of all times? can't stop listen to it - so good.

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Thursday, 11 May 2006 06:12 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

That's Prestel. And yes, it's one of the greatest 45s of all times. Back in the days prior to reissue box sets and internet downloads I bought that from Chuck Warner for 26 bucks, the most I'd ever paid for a 7" record. I didn't regret it for a second. I'd been a fan of theirs for a few years since hearing Walk Before Imitate on the ReR comp then picking up the LP at Princeton Record Exchange, but to have loved that material for so long and thinking that was it, only to discover Prestel years later....amazing.

make them an Eminem/David Byrne splitter.

― scnnr drkly (scnnr drkly), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 14:22 (twenty years ago)

or even better, an Eminem/David Byrne coaster.

l voag/xentos fray bentos became harmon e phraisyar and did an inexplicably brilliant, hysterically funny show on resonance fm, all the music on it has been cut up, mashed together and mistreated in the most spectacular and inventive of ways. it's not far short of genius and nobody's heard it. :(

I would start on Dan Wilson's two Resonance shows "The Exciting Hellebore Shew" and "Epistaxis Time" but we'd be here all night if I did. Suffice to say that he actually IS a genius.

― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

isn't that guy in AC/DC gay?

― CaptainLorax, Sunday, 1 June 2008 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

AC/DC means bisexuals...?

― CaptainLorax, Sunday, 1 June 2008 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

Black Moth Super Rainbow - that sounds gay right?

Louis,

― J0hn D., Monday, 2 June 2008 23:20 (eighteen years ago)

Is there meant to be an image after that invocation? Or are you incorporating a comma into my name? First there was Madonna, then there was Mika, now there's Louis,.

More people need to check out the Harmon E. Phraisyar show, it's really cool stuff.

― Just got offed, Monday, 2 June 2008 23:30 (eighteen years ago)
