Bouillon de kulture : Freedom of Choice (Devo) (series 33 1/3, book no. 104) / Evie Nagy (press copy) (53)

I have always been a huge Devo fan, as far back as I can remember.

I was just amazed by their debut album Q:A, proposing a raw, punk and unique sound, and the rest of their discography is just as trendsetting.

As far as Freedom of Choice is concerned, it's not only about their biggest single hit Whip it, oh, no sir!

The 12 songs contained on Devo's third studio album is high energy synthpop oriented. And they all sound fantastic!

There is no doubt that this title, which represents Devo's only platinum album, was going to be part of the amazing 33 /3 book collection. And what a coincidence that this book release also celebrates the 35th birthday of FOC.

Evie Nagy does an amazing job at dissecting and commenting on the twelve tracks of this seminal record. There is also background about Devo's debut as a band, their highs, their lows, their past and recent projects, cool pictures about the album release events, etc.

Wow! I loved this book and highly recommend it to all fellow Spudboys.

Fricassée de futilités no.32 (SMB - Sexy Mother Blogger)

avancé : la lecture de Freedom of Choice (33 1/3) par Evie Nagy. Whip it! Whip it Good!

acheté : Parade (Under the Cherry Moon) de Prince. Je suis encore en deuil! Quelle perte! Comme Moby le disait sur Facebook, j'espère que Bowie et lui sont en train de jammer ben hard en haut...

sous-fucking-contracté : mon beau-frère pour l'achat des volumes 1 et 2 des Muzik for Insomniaks de Mark Motherbaugh (Devo) (car il a un compte Amazon, moi ma thérapiste et mon planificateur financier ne me suggèrent pas d'en avoir un)...

pris : une foto d'un bol de toilette plein de pisse pour un éventuel @ Le Pissoir...

retrouvé : mon ami Martin (après 17 ans) avec qui j'ai travaillé, sorti jusqu'aux petites heures de la nuit et fait de la musique électro-machin-choze... Watch out la voûte de Paisley Park, nos compositions font s'accumuler à un rythme endiablé!
