[kj] OT - Pick New Devo Songs For The New Album

[ceplaster at aol.com]

Very encouraging.   Checked out the link last night and just went and saw the Kimmel clip.    Josh Freese playing drums, awesome.  That guy is unstoppable.   New masks are great.     My big trivia question  relates to the blue guitar that Bob1 was playing.    Is is the same one he used back in the day, or is it a reproduction?      The original guitar was stolen out of a music store during the Rodney King/LA riots years ago.   If it is in fact the original,  there would have to be a pretty amazing story behind its recovery.   Regardless,   great to see them back in action,  and for any of you that are curious about these guys,    as long as Josh is playing drums their live shows will not disappoint.    Lots of fun (and cynical satire).  -Carl P

I thought the songs were just ok, but the great thing about this is the satire of capitalist, consumer culture. Everthing from the fake corporate CEO to
the funny fake email to the 70s dude with the moustache who drinks milk while listening to the song clips. BTW Devo was on US late night tv (Jimmy Kimmel)
last night, playing their new single "Fresh". They sounded great, and while not up their weirdo, robotic, satirical performances of the past, they still have the good music and crazy uniforms (new one is a grey jumpsuit w/alient half-face masks) like they always have had.
