In more unfamiliar news, Homer Simpson has found solace in Spacemen 3 and the magnetism of psychedelia after his recent split from Marge on The Simpsons. 

Yes that's right, Homer is free and single, and on season 27's première he trips out to the eighties band's 'Big City (Everybody I Know Can Be Found Here) (listen below) around the 11:30 mark which you can watch here.

Formed between Jason Pierce and Peter Kember, the former said to the Wall Street Journal, "When I saw the script I was psyched. I couldn't imagine a sweeter use of that track in this context, and particularly in context of a “trip” scene."

"[That is] something that’s usually for me a high point of ‘The Simpsons’ oeuvre. I imagine it is what people in bands secretly, or openly, dream of. Animation is so useful for these sort of stretches of reality."

We spoke to former Spacemen 3 member and leader of Spiritualized Jason Pierce earlier in the year.
