DEVO - Are We Not Men?
It's hard to believe that this came out 50-ish years ago.
They may have made Brian Eno sad while recording this at Conny Plank's, but he did right by them (even if they refused many of his suggestions, keyboard parts, etc): the original recording is great, and this is the best I've ever heard it sound.
Their first album, and the start of a 3-album-run that is essential listening.
It's Saturday! Let's get this party started! #DEVO

I feel like I ought to know this, but then it's one of the weaker songs they've ever done, so... #devo #music #truecrime
(the song "I Desire" gets a lot of its words from a poem written by John Hinckley to Jodie Foster)

Devo - Shrivel Up
Still one of my favorite intros to any song out there! The build up is awesome!!!! https://music.apple.com/us/album/gut-feeling-slap-your-mammy/337005954?i=337006011 #devo #intro #music
I must admit I never gave DEVO much thought at the time, but everytime I catch them being posted, it sounds so good!

Also, this reminds me of Corin Tucker’s vocal attack. Off to find some Sleater-Kinney❤️

#SynthSaturday #GregHawkes was the keyboardist for multiplatinum MTV rockers #TheCars. But pretty much nobody noticed when his solo album "Niagara Falls" was released in 1983. I sure didn't! It's a cool + eclectic mashup of the #Electro du jour, including #Ambient + #Krautrock + #SynthPop + even some #Devo. AFAIK It has never been re-released in any format. But downloads are available. Worth hunting down! ⚡ 🎹 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #NewWave #SynthWave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axNOY3NOqVo
