The Homosexuals

False Sentiments

the Homosexuals

The Best Song Ever!

That's the band not the sexual preference. I love British post-punk. There were so many great bands in that era. How could I pick just one as the greatest? Well that would be ridiculous! But The Homosexuals would come close because they were never too dour and wore uncool influences on their sleeve. The Homosexuals weren't afraid to be overtly pschedelic, experimental or silly. They were never boring and never gave a fuck about anyone else as far as I can see. They hardly sold any records back then and didn't seem to give a shit. I think they were only ever reveiwed once in the UK media! They can be heard just enjoying themselves and the company they were in, on their records. Joyous! No major labels here! No recording budgets either.

the Homosexuals

GOLD!

I got this triple cd 8 or 9 years ago and it still excites me to this day. I'm not even sure I've got to cd3 yet, the rest is so good. This is art as pure as it comes!

Astral Glamour 1978-1982.

Chris Knox - Not Given Lightly

Best Song Ever!

Warning!!! Trainwreck TV!!!!

I can barely watch it, but he's a fucking trooper and he makes the best of a bad situation. If you're into schadenfreude you'll love it. This is a live clip from ABC's Recovery from the 90s. It's very strange and a bit awkward. Did this man have any luck in Australia? Toy Love his original punky band moved here got fucked over by a major record label and tanked. I reckon he must hate gettin on that plane with the the ticket that says destination Australia.

The below clip is even stranger. Someone has put some Manga film to go with the song. The original clip couldn't be found on the youtubes. Anyway it's all about the tune. Me love a lot, the song that is.

RE: knowledge is power!

"Knowledge is power, the power to maintain free government and preserve constitutional liberty" This is actually a quote by American Senator Vorhees in 1880 talking about Libraries. Now, do you reckon he was a communist or very dedicated to democracy?!

He would have been on the Megaupload don't you think.

This is all a bit serious.
