 Devo
In the late 1960s, Kent State students Gerald Casale, Bob Lewis and Mark Mothersbaugh formed a half-serious theory of "de-evolution," holding that modern society was degenerating into mindless conformity and preprocessed Madison Avenue rhetoric.
And the Bob Lewis interview, in which he describes the events that led up to his 1978 lawsuit against the band for theft of intellectual property, is fascinating.
Supposedly the Wipeouters were a surf-rock outfit formed in 1967 by Mothersbaugh and the two Bobs, and this is new recordings of songs written in that era.

The bleak environment ultimately shaped the cynical philosophy of local boys Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Jeff and Bob Casale, and Alan Myers.
Dellinger and Giffels are quite thorough with their insightful research into the upbringing of the musicians, noting how ethics of self-reliance, hard work and creativity were instilled in the Mothersbaugh brothers at a young age.
In covering Jerry Casale, the writers do well in their treatment of the Kent State tragedy and its ties to the development of the Casale's worldview and the strange, but similar connections that developed between Neil Young and Devo later in the decade.

 Blanc du Bob, by Gail Casale
Walking into a large modern wood and glass tasting room with a sky lit vaulted ceiling, we were greeted by one of the owners, James Bidwell, one of 3 winemaking brothers that now operate the vineyard.
The Blanc du Bob had the deep golden color of a rich Californian Chardonnay with a strong nose and a taste that can only be described as "Tutti Frutti", while the Pat en Rouge could give Nonno's Sangiovese a run for its money.
It was so fresh and smooth that it reminded me of the generous plates of fresh porcini's, the sumptuous gnocchi and the delicious homemade wine from my favorite Italian "fungi" restaurant, Da Mario, located at the Turchino Pass just outside of Genova in Italy.

At least Japan still has a soft spot for the spudboys from Akron, and I can only hope that they met with the same kind of riotous, merchandise-buying fervor on their recent Stateside tour that they appeared to have on this disc.
This concert, recorded somewhere in Japan in 2003, has original members Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerry Casale, Bob Mothersbaugh (Bob 1) and Bob Casale (Bob 2) joined by drummer David Kendrick, who has been an official Devonian since the departure of Alan Myers in the late 1980s.
Gerry Casale refers to it as "an organization of sound and ideas", which is a short way of saying that Devo is more than a single song or look, it is a carefully crafted mutated hybrid of concepts that contribute to the functioning of the whole theme of de-evolution.

Bob Mothersbaugh has a regular gig scoring the popular Rugrats animated series for Nickelodeon, the original theme for which was written by brother Mark years ago.
