The forgotten pearl of rock: Devolution

DEVO / Devolution / devo, inc.

We have always admired DEVO. A fine pop group writing tunes based on their “Theory of Devolution” (which has never really been explained — yet we will). Devolution is the band’s music-making concept. Each album follows a particular theme, the live shows accompanying this theme with outfits, motion graphics and a particular artstyle which excites us to this day. DeVo evolving over the years from isolated art students into elder statesmen of a movement (one which never quite took) has a touch of melancholy. Gigging their new 2010 album, we find they still really f*****’ rock as they did here:

For further research, see their official website or a video on DEVO’S GEAR inside UFO, or some recent photos via last.fm event pages:

Now, why not try contemplating this youtube video with Mark Mothersbaugh. If you’re game, check out the entire? conspiracy starring DeVo, TiVo and BOB.

The forgotten pearl of x-rated talk radio: Podcasting Smodcast

KEVIN SMITH / Smodcast / life and other funny junk

Fans of Kevin Smith will undoubtably know about his hilarious podcast with his producer sidekick Scott Mosier. Not work safe nor safe in most homes across America, this podcast is a hilarious take on a life of the everyman, breaking every FCC regulation therefore staying as human as possible. This is not a Howard Stern sort of gratuitous comedy show, rather more of a candid look into the views and theoretical views of a couple of extremely witty gentlemen.

Check out the Smodcast homepage at http://smodcast.com/ – Children, please do NOT click that link! I said no! Hey, stop that! Noooooooooooooo! Honestly, we don’t need to be sued nor tarnish an otherwise pristine upbringing. We tried for a month to keep this blog family friendly and it just wasn’t working. We’re not fans of the politically correct but we are fans of Warnings.

Subscribe to Smodcast via iTunes – Again, same warning as above because  our legal department [sic] tells us we must. Enjoy!
