100 % genuine , unlike the rest of the industry he works in. Go Mark.

I see so many people saying that. I am experiencing the change right now. I'm 33 and I discovered DEVO less than 3 weeks ago. Some serious life bullshit has gone down since then, and I don;t know if I would have made it through without DEVO

[mohinderbauer]

Most people weren't ready for Devo at the time. At least now people appreciate the band now. Also, it's great that kids are being exposed to Mark on Yo Gabba Gabba.

He has all kinds of vintage synthesizers in there. He's quite an enthusiast. His instruments range from the very common to the exceedingly rare to the bespoke. One of his most treasured possessions is a Hammond Novachord, the world's first polysynth.

I Didn't Know He Was The Yo Gabba Gabba Guy!!! :O

@Trendkillertrendy Strange you should say that. I discovered them when I was 11 and I am 42 now but their music does have a way of getting your mind off all the seriousness of life that could normally crush you mentally. They got me through alot as a kid and still do to this day as an adult.

I've known DEVO since the 80's. You are so right about needing DEVO to survive life's bullshit! I'm bi-polar and DEVO (and the Beatles) is, by far, the best medication I've ever been on (and trust me...I've been on LOTS & LOTS & LOTS)!

[RikJamezBich]

Devo is the shite. Genius and let's not forget, they def. got the funk.

[Desmaad]

Is that a Memorymoog behind him?

[jpd66]

who performs the background music in this vid? and what is the title of this track?

[JMillerbigass]

Good for Mark talking up the value of education in music. Of course, it doesn't take the ridiculous amount of money it costs to go to Berklee, nor does it guarantee you're going to be a famous musician or top composer like Mark. But music education is good, and when your rock star window has closed, at least you will still have a marketable skill and won't have to quit playing music because you're too old to play with Lady Gaga. Saved my ass, that's for sure.

@Trendkillertrendy

I saw an ad for this new album recently and I was shocked as the last one was 20 years ago. I need this new album and as I'm going through extreme crud myself.

Everybody needs DEVO. Glad you love DEVO and best wishes - I also discovered Weird Als "Dare to be stupid which also got me back into DEVO which is almost an unofficial DEVO homage - Dare you to check it out!!!!
