Two devo facts i loved: 1: they got large ladies from their audience to gather round their gear to warm it up so it would work properly, 2: Pink Floyd gave them a synth that they were about to trash. _________________

Class video, thanks for sharing it.
What they say about Flintstones meets the Jetsons reminds me of something that a member of Wall of Voodoo said about them (WoV) being like cavemen running barefoot through a world of modern technology.

Yeah those specs are amazing. Did you, like me, do that *hhmm how would I look wearing Chrome glasses like that?* and seriously consider it for a while?
Glad you guys enjoyed! _________________

Fuck - they didn't even cover the fact that Mark Mothersbaugh has Raymond Scott's Electronium sitting in the basement at that studio. I think that's amazing. Literally Mark could open up his own synth museum.
they didn't cover tons of stuff! every time I read a DEVO article/interview I learn something amazing about that band. they are so the band that would make music out of pink floyd's garbage.
I actually saw them play last fall, it was excellent of course. the stranger did an interview with mark around the time of the show, here.
I've been waiting for a new Devo album for years. Ever since they released "Watch Us Work It" and said it's from an upcoming album. I was so pissed to find out, after standing in line for an hour to be the first guy in line at the record-store day sale this year at the only record store in my city, that they had a new 2-track single out. I totally missed it. But... I got the only copies of the QotSA and TCV 10"s they had soooo... _________________
