A fistful of Devo

Here they are in concert in 1973 at Kent State. They aren't doing the kind of scumbag techno-blues in evidence on the "Hardcore Devo" albums, but they're getting close.




I keep meaning to get acquainted with the Jihad Jerry stuff, but it hasn't happened yet.




Here's Devo and Neil Young.

Well, tomorrow marks the official beginning of fall. Such little time left for heatstroke hallucinations. And so I gather together the summer's creepiest audio-visual finds, and offer them up to those of you interested in such things.

Keep in mind while you doodle on those windows that it's all infinitely less permanent than anything ever assembled by a three-year-old kid. Have fun!

Older music posts can be found at the abandoned Facebook page. I don't maintain or view it anymore, so your comments will go unanswered. Sorry about that, I guess.
