In any case, Homicide says, today he's "cut in on publishing and merchandising, and I'm a full-fledged member." He's still figuring out, though, how to convey the full range of what he does in the band's music videos. Sometimes he just waves around a pair of records. "You are not going to see me programming a drum machine in a video," says Homicide. "It just doesn't look cool...
