Devo Lollapalooza 2010

And somewhere in the middle of the two extremes was Devo, a band that uses tight, tiny tunes to write about big ideas. The band, revived after a 20-year dormancy, felt fast and frantic, hurtling through songs like "Uncontrollable Urge" with astonishing force. Taking the stage in grey jumpsuits and grey plastic wraparound masks, they whipped from a smattering of songs from the just released Something for Everybody to a breathtaking run of herky-jerk classics from their debut. Mark Mothersbaugh was the frontman as drill sergeant, pacing across the stage giving sharp, precise salutes. "Do you remember when we told you about de-evolution?" Mothersbaugh asked, to a wave of cheers. "It's here!" Never have so many people sounded so thrilled to be so primitive.

This is and always has been the most talented band in history.

"We gave Lady GaGa our latrine. We'd already used it...so we were done."

My Reaction: Pooping in the pants (from laughter)

[jbondDB5]

wow. they're interviewing themselves. wow.

@tcp2150 let's say "group of artists" rather than "band." To call them a "band" limits the range of their impact, imho. but I respect your comment.

The funny thing about Lady Gaga: if you only hear her on the radio and didn't know about her whacked-out fashion sense, you'd have no idea what makes her so damned "unique".
