Also, my wife and I had the same reaction to David Bowie introducing Devo in ‘77 - like, no one should be that cool, it’s not fair he got all the cool.

I’ve been a hardcore Devo fan since I was in college in the late ‘90s, and I’m loving the doc even though the stories are familiar. The most electrifying performance was the brief clip of the Ramones at CBGB - eliciting an audible “whoa” from me.

Oof. As a 24 year veteran higher education staff member, it pains me to like this post, but yeah, it’s not wrong.

The recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne has reminded me of a song by an artist I haven’t thought about in years. It’s “Ozzy Made Me Do It” by Rochester based ‘90s anti-folk act Powered By Satan. If only I hadn’t gotten rid of the cassette I had that song on. If only I could still play a cassette.

What if Eddie Vedder and CC Deville had a baby and they named it butt rock?

It was near a light rail stop is all I remember! Also that the food was great.

The first Ethiopian restaurant I ever ate at was in NYC, but the best Ethiopian restaurant I ever ate at was in St. Paul (and I don’t remember the name of either!)

Aw, but won’t I miss using my janky Amazon Fire TV Recast to record off a digital antenna broadcast? It mostly works!
