Sure, Devo's old news. Older than me at least. I'm still happy they're making a new album that sounds like it'll be pretty good.

DEVO have been around for quite a long time.  that does not make them old news.

Particularly since they were right about everything.

I am the result of 13.75 ± 0.13 billion years of random chance. Now that I exist I see no reason to start planning and organizing everything in my life.

Random dumb luck got me here, random dumb luck will get me to where I'm going.

Hail Eris!

My favorite random fact about that song is that Devo mixed the album version.
Art is Dead! (If You Want It)

Actually I think the original is one mix, by The Arttery Squash, and the DEVO mix appears on the Watch Us Work It single.

AFK

DEVO are also going to be, if they haven't been already, in an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba.  Which makes sense since Mark Mothersbaugh has a regular presence on that show.

Anyone remember Dev2.0?

Unkl Dad

The kids?  Never listened to it though.

From DEVO's e-mailings:

Dear Spuds,

We have a lot of engagements coming up this month. On release day (June 15th) we will not only be at the Billboard Music & Advertising conference, but we'll be performing on the Late Show with David Letterman the same night. June 16th you can catch us on the amazing Colbert Report and June 18th we'll be partying with Regis and Kelly. Be sure to tune in!! Duty now for the future.

Also - you can now stream our ENTIRE new album on the Colbert website! Listen.

Isn't Devo itself old news?  No disrespect to Devo.
Isn't discordia old news?
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

I own the DEV2.0 DVD and album as well as I think I started a thread about it ages ago.

For the most part I think the new album is FUCKING awesome.

I am also quite drunk now and not aware of how complex getting back to my car in the AM will be.

So, a better review at some point in the future.

OK, I'm sober now and the new album is still awesome.
