While visiting the famed Garbage Troll of Hainsport NJ I saw this spray painted on the building outback

I was trying to find some photos of Devo in LA during their DNFTF phase and came across these cool stock photos that I hadn't seen before:

Fab Puppets makes 80’s MTV music celebrities. I thought I would share the one
Of Mark that she made!

I plan on listening to this new reissue over the weekend. Have you listened to it yet?

Can someone point me toward a thorough list of Devo b-sides and rarities? Tracks that don't appear on Devo's first five albums, at least, but were recorded during the same era.

I'm not so interested in live albums/tracks or demos unless they really make your socks roll up and down.

I mostly just want to hear as much as I can from Devo between Are We Not Men? and Oh, No! It's Devo.

Just read an article that Mark Mothersbaugh
and his close friend are doing a postcard campaign so folks will create are and use the USPS.

The official Devo Energy Dome is recommended to use the MSA Staz-On 454231 Suspension with Skullgard (https://a.co/d/09NDZHQj) and to be secured with gaffer tape.  However, I thought this solution was a bit cumbersome, as there is not much holding it in place and the tape kept lifting.

This is a ring that goes in the Energy Dome and has mount points for the MSA Skullgard.  You can then easily and cleanly secure it with gaffer tape (non marring and reversible) or any other adhesive you like.

The default print profile in ABS or PLA fits the official dome sold at concerts and Hello Merch.  The design is OpenScad so you can customize to match your dome if it’s different.

I suggest printing in Red.

He was doing selections from his film scores. Heavy on the Wes Anderson stuff but he also did lots of other hits - Pee-wee‘s Playhouse, Rugrats, plenty of cartoon themes and much more. He also managed to work in Gut Feeling Uncontrollable Urge, and “it takes a worried man” from Human Highway.

This was the second Devo experience for my obsessed seven-year-old. We caught the full band last week as well.

I'm comfortably in my 40s and yet refreshingly new to Devo. I put together a short compilation from Devo's first four albums before my trip to Japan last week; when I travel, I like to leave new music on while I amble about, so then I a) get into some new music and b) have a wild auditory journal of the trip. (And it worked! I can't listen to "Girl U Want" without seeing a small shop where I stopped to browse used Tomica, and "Love Without Anger" is synonymous with climbing a mountain to see an active volcano belching in the distance -- wow!)

But circling back, and with the intention of maybe expanding my exploration of the rest of Devo's catalog, I just thought I'd ask you old-timers (as a Devo devotee, at least, I'm still young) what your single-disc compilation of favorite/best tunes would be. And by single disc I mean, of course, a CD's worth, or about 80 minutes.

I listened to the first four studio albums, but mostly I had another (self-made) compilation, and the track listing was this:

1. Uncontrollable Urge
2. Mongoloid
3. Jocko Homo
4. Wiggly World
5. The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize
6. Girl U Want
7. Whip It
8. Freedom Of Choice
9. Gates Of Steel
10. Through Being Cool
11. Jerkin' Back 'N' Forth
12. Love Without Anger
13. Beautiful World

That's only about half (40 minutes) of what I'm looking for, so please let me know how to best lard out the rest, either with what you think is awesome for personal reasons or whatever I should give more attention to.

Thanks in advance! Devo fans seem to be one of the chiller, nicer fandoms (I'm an Eels fan myself, so we can dig it), and I'm glad I've wriggled my way in.

Has this film or films been discussed here? Seems to have underlying Devo themes.

The latest iteration of our ongoing screening of restored and previously unseen DEVO commences at Alamo New Mission this Sunday afternoon, with Jerry in person for post-show discussion:

In the documentary, he says at one point, "We are all de-VO." I got the feeling that pronounciation is a Jerry thing, and Mark is playing along but thinks it's kind of silly. Just... I don't know. Body language or something.

Do we have any public-facing knowledge about how Mark feels about Devo as a project so many years later? I mean, he said some interesting things in the doc, but I wonder about other interviews, etc.

For Halloween

I think I'll diy a lot, whip and hat. I'd spend a bit on a proper boiler suit if I had to. Rather than one of those generic Halloween store packets.

Obviously, for the show, I know they rip easily but are they actually industrial suits?

I also have iron on stuff left over from t shirt making I could just cut out 4 letters easily enough.

I’m dressing up as Mark for a Halloween show that my band is playing. I wish I could convince my bandmates to play a Devo cover but I’m the only one who likes them lol. Peace and love to all the spuds reading this!

I've had both of these for quite a while on my Ebay email alerts, and every time they came up they were always quite expensive, with the additional crazy shipping fee from either the US or UK, pushing them both well over $100. Well the stars aligned this week - these both appeared in my Ebay alert email at the same time, and both from separate Aussie sellers. Super quick shipping means I got them today, both for AUD $93.00. The seller of the Are We Not Men RSD picture disc even threw in a copy of the Be Stiff 7" single. Thank you Aussie spuds!
