Army of Mom

So this is how liberty dies ... with thunderous applause.

Scary stuff

In a time, long long ago (around the 80s) there was a band that I dearly loved: Devo. Now, there is a band that REALLY sounds like them. One reason is that it is the frontman for Devo who leads up this offensively named band, Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers. I hate to admit that I like the music, but I do. I think it is pretty clear where his politics lie, but I try (not always successfully) to separate my love for music and drama from a person's politics.

Anyway. You can listen to a few tracks on his site. I really like them, especially Army Girls Gone Wild, even if it is a bit offensive, too. My lib friends will really dig it.

    If you're a Devo fan then here's some music news you'll appreciate:

    DEVO have reportedly re-recorded a batch of ther best-known songs with children providing the vocals. The project, entitled Devo 2.0, aimed at appealing to a new generation of fans will also feature two new studio tracks from the band - 'Cyclops' and 'The Winner' - their first new material for almost 20 years.

    Thought I'd share. :)

    I agree with you. The song AGGW has that funky techno DEVO sound. Could have done without the politics, but hey, what can you do...?
