Work is hellish today.

In good news, I've discovered Devo 30 years later. Wow, they're fucking brilliant. That's my kind of punk: clever and nasty and musical.

I noticed that CD Replay has a 1980 concert video of theirs on sale cheap. In looking for something to trade for it, I realized I hadn't really liked Elvis Costello's live swing set from last year (My Flame Burns Blue). It came with a bonus disk of his first "classical" music, Il Sogno, a suite from a ballet he wrote.

I started listening to it this morning and it was okay but suddenly I found myself going, "oh, shut up" at the CD drive, so I guess I'm selling it.

ARE WE NOT MEN?!!!!!!!

Through Being Cool has such an awesome video...which of course does not exist on YouTube, blast! I love that track, and Girl U Want.

The Devo live video is completely awesome. They had such a great show together including choreography, costume and they were tight, tight, tight. Impressive!
