The Aspic Tines are changing my life

Rae dropped this link on me with this accompanying description from The Awl: “What if you took Hercules and Love Affair and made it gayer, and made it happen in Leipzig, as an homage to Klaus Nomi, RIP?” How could I not click over? A Chicago outfit conceived as an homage to Klaus Nomi, all gay German space disco about banging spaceships and stuff and it’s so unreasonably amazing. Also, there’s a cover of “Holiday in Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedys. If you’ve ever wanted to smile, check out their MySpace.
