phuq yeah!

Good. The world could use a little more WTF in the music department.

FTA: 2009 promises to be packed with Devo activity...

God help us all.

um, do a little research on mothersbaugh (new window) and you will realize the driving force behind devo has been driving nickelodeon and tons of other kids shows and movies for years.


/its not the kids who need to be introduced. they have been friends for a long long time.
//its the parents.

I loved the headline Subby, I lold.

Words cannot express how happy this makes me.

I've been checking their website regularly hoping they would add some Canadian dates to their current tour.

Right farking on

Relevant to the topic at hand: Huboon Stomp

Word. My 10 year old son plays "Beautiful World" almost daily, thinks these guys are awesome.

I have mixed feelings about this kind of reunion record. It has been almost 20 years. Why not do something new instead?

/Devo fan

Sweeeeeeeeet!

/Should have seen my face when the Dell commercial came on
// o_O "WTF that's DEVO!" ^_^

WTF IS THIS? A JOKE? would be a great name for the album.

Daddy needs to expand junior's music collection.

Back when Devo released Devo 2.0, an album that had young kids singing on their songs, I thought, 'What the hell are they thinking?' You'd be pressed to find a handful of adult Devo fans, why the hell would kids be interested? But then one day while visiting family, my 10 year-old cousin, who lives a very sheltered life in a strictly christian house, said she was a big fan of Devo. I quizzed her on song titles and lyrics, and by god she knew them. I then concluded that Mark Mothersbaugh is a genius.

Although I'm sure you merely asked her what her favorite songs were, I can't help shake the image of a hipster pulling out a standardized test form and a #2 pencil and then handing them off to a 10 year old with a test booklet to evaluate her musical knowledge.

Spud Patrol FTW

Are we not Gabba?

Why? Are the Polysics (new window) not carrying the torch of devolution?!


/I think they rock harder than Devo

YES!

How dare they attempt to snap me out of the catatonic stupor into which I've been lulled.

WTF indeed, Devo. WTF.

OnePalmTree: ...And there was much rejoicing!

I got praying hands...

Approves, pally.

Rev. Skarekroe: WTF IS THIS? A JOKE? would be a great name for the album.

Nice. But I think the band's statement would be a better one: De-Evolution Has Arrived.

Devo on tour, with Polysics opening.

You can kill me afterwards, there is not much else that could top that. Musically anyway.

Music Today Sucks!

Thank you DEVO!

All I can say is:

Whip It! Whip it good!

Brown Jenkems: I have mixed feelings about this kind of reunion record. It has been almost 20 years. Why not do something new instead?

/Devo fan

Give the past a slip?

maybe they are going to actually de-evolve

I'm excited. Hopeful, and a little scared.

But excited.

This thread is relevant to Polysics' interests.

/Judge Smails is impressed

I only heard of Devo because of Polysics, which I found out about through some Dwarf Fortress YouTube clip that used I My Me Mine
