I had the great fortune to catch seminal, industrial, satirical art-punks/techno-wavers Devo in the second of the rock band's two concerts at San Francisco's Regency this past weekend. In the process of being wildly entertained, I also had a rueful laugh or two at the expense of the celebrity death cults that spring up when the famous depart this mortal coil, as the Bard of Avon put it. Too soo...
I've said it before, but it bears saying again. It's crazy what will remind you of a beloved song or artist that you haven't heard or recalled in ages. You'll hear a tune in the oddest place, and, suddenly, it's a favorite again.One night last week, I was with my pal Wes, within the ornate, Deco-Azteco confines of the Mayan Theater in downtown Los Angeles. We were there because we simply had to...

I seek the perfect soundtrack to lighten my load and quicken my labors. What could it be?It's like this. I’m sitting in the café where, every day of the week, I telecommute and do most of my writing for business and creative projects – and I’m experiencing a bit of a disconnect.Like many of my friends and colleagues, I usually listen to music while I work. It shuts out distractions, trigger
Most of us know them as the band who sang "Whip It" with those God-awful robot-like outfits in the early-mid 80s.Now a whole new generation can get Devo-tized, as co-founders Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale have brought in Bob Casale, Bob Mothersbaugh and Josh Freese to make a new album.Devo is making a special appearance at SXSW next week with a press conference, keynote panel and Friday n...

Beware Evil Clowns.
