Brain drain.

I let my lava lamp on for the whole length of a movie last night and all it did was form some sort of brain mushroom cloud.

FEATURE EXCLUSIVE: 1450 Days (And 48 Years) After The End

Saturday, April 23rd, 2022

As you have heard me say on this blog too many times already to count, DEVO holds a continuously relevant presence in our society whether you want it to or not. And while the majority of the world still sees them as just some harmless, kooky one-hit-wonder from the 80s, their philosophy runs much deeper and darker than wiggly lines and bright colors suggest, and it dates back to the seediest early seventies basements of Kent, Ohio, places where new wave sheen would never dare to shine. DEVO were in the trenches, residents of Ground Zero, witnesses to de-evolution in action.

It just so happens that their second ever public musical communication of their de-evolutionary theory happened 48 years ago today. (Can you believe it’ll be 50 years since their first show next year?) As a partial live recording of the concert surfaced last year, current de-evolutionary scholars have a better idea than ever of what that early gestational period was like before Akron catalyzed DEVO’s big break, overshadowing Kent’s undeniable birth of the band.

One such scholar, my good friend and collaborator Max Devo (AKA Zhir Vengersky) has summed up the events in a brilliant little essay he wished to have me expose to the world. I was more than willing to handle the job. I’ll stop my spiel now and turn the microphone to him.

Mold is people, too.

I wish I was in my “Sunday best” for Easter, but I’m sick. So here’s a chick I bumped into last week doing what I wish I was doing to make up for it.

It’s always nice getting an Alternative Tentacles order in the mail.

The Chicks Are Too Real

My personal copy of my friend Max’s most recent album—which I did the album art for—has finally arrived in the mail! Interesting compromise of packaging aside, it’s an honor to have my artwork exhibited out there in the world in this way—and to have it attributed to such a solid album!

The sweater I’m wearing here I had completely forgot about and not worn in over a year until after was completely finished with the album cover. Gotta dress for the occasion…

Some highlights from my third time in Kent, Ohio. It was good to be back—and to visit the May 4 Visitors Center for the first time!
