The Nomi Song / Germany / 2004

I am old enough to remember Urgh! A Music War (which needs to be on DVD yesterday), and I always thought Klaus Nomi was scary as hell. He wasn’t human, but wasn’t quite alien or robotic either. He was just… Klaus Nomi.

In college, I had a friend who was deeply into Klaus Nomi (and Lene Lovich and Diamanda Galas and every other freaky-ass singer), but everyone kept him far away from the turntable at parties.

Watching this documentary, I don’t feel as if I have any idea that Klaus Nomi was human, exactly, but I know he was not an alien or a robot. Nomi comes off as a cipher in his own biography, which, is somehow madly appropriate.
