After getting dropped by Warner Brothers, Devo then would sign with Enigma, a much smaller record label, which at the time was focusing on alternative and punk music (though it didn’t limit itself to those genres). Devo was one of the bigger acts in the label’s catalog, which should have been good all around, but…
This week’s entry comes courtesy of a Facebook trend I thought was a good idea to turn into a post. Rather than simply have a status update with a list I would flesh it out a little with a sentence or two about each album and why it is included. Here are the directions as…
Since he doesn’t blog anymore it was through his Facebook status update I was made aware of this idea. Here is the introduction as I initially saw it posted: Rules of the Game: Copy this and post as your status update. List 12 albums that made a lasting impression on you, but only 1 per…
When writing I try to listen to music I am somewhat familiar with, so as not to get caught up and distracted. The Ramones is probably my most used “go to” band for this. Usually I don’t use Devo because I wind up getting caught up in the music, but there is a playlist of…
This year’s Penny Arcade Expo was different for me, as I wasn’t on the media list. I purchased tickets when they went on sale and was able to spend more time going to the show with my kids rather than working and trying to see everything for coverage. That said, there are some things I…

The third and fourth time I saw The Ramones were not as extraordinary as the first two (each deserving of their own entries). September 3, 1995, at the Bumbershoot festival was the third time I saw the band. It was mostly unremarkable, a “standard” set by the band in a festival setting. It was good to…
I am taking this idea from Dawn, who took the idea from somebody else who took the idea from somebody else. “Sarah specified just a few rules: 1) Be sure to note your first concert. 2) Bands you’ve seen as openers or as part of festivals count, but try to come up with 50 headliners…
Devo sent the link to this on twitter, so they obviously approve of its existence: It’s just a shame none of the newer stuff was performed. Still, a good set.
Last week I started to go a bit more in-depth about my relationship with the band Devo. One of the two tattoos I have is inspired by the band as is the name of this blog. Wednesday night the band was in town for their Hardcore Devo Tour. There were only 10 stops on this…
