02/22/24 • 53 min
This week we present Pt. 2 of our discussion with filmmaker, musician, and photographer DAVE MARKEY (‘1991: The Year Punk Broke’, ‘Lovedolls Superstar,’ Painted Willie on SST records) about the ‘change of our lives forever’ videotape for both of us: DEVO’s ‘The Men Who Make The Music.’ We continue our talk about the videos on the VHS cassette, early Hardcore Devo recordings, Devo cover bands, the magic of drummer Alan Myers, Dave’s work with Nirvana, Kurt Cobian’s love for Devo, Spazz Attack, the L.A. punk club scene, sneaking into shows, hearing Devo’s Satisfaction before hearing The Rolling Stone’s original, New Wave Theater, Devo and psychedelics & the actual TRUTH about Devolution.
So shrivel up under Daddy’s cap on this week’s Revolution Per Movie finale on Devo’s ‘The Men Who Make The Music.’

'DEVO: THE MEN WHO MAKE THE MUSIC' w/ Dave Markey (Pt 1 of 2)
This week, we present the first of our two-part episode with filmmaker, musician, and photographer DAVE MARKEY (‘1991: The Year Punk Broke,' ‘Lovedolls Superstar,’ Painted Willie on SST records) about 'the change our lives forever' videotape for both of us: DEVO’s ‘The Men Who Make The Music.’ We discuss how Devo has been the most influential influence on our life and creative work, getting picked on for liking DEVO and pushing back, Neil Young working with the band, the proper way to say Boojie Boy, Devo’s video director (Chuck Statler) singular style and use of non-actors, the concept of selling out, early MTV, seeing Devo live, Dr. Demento & SNL, Devo being championed as a Los Angeles band, dealing with Whip It as a hit song, Dave’s early work as a teenage filmmaker, Devo’s evolution of songwriting, how sexy Mark Mothersbaugh is, CLUB DEVO, John Lydon almost joining Devo, bands jumping on the New Wave bandwagon and how the Devo’s body of work could be absolutely frightening.
So take your hotsy-totsy swinger, put them under pressure, and watch them fall apart on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.

'VOX LUX' w/ Logan Lynn
This week, we talk to indie pop dance legend and Kill Rock Stars recording artist, Logan Lynn, who picked the extremely intense music narrative film, Vox Lux, to discuss. We discussed the realities and tropes of music films, Lynn’s early years as a teenager on a major label, the lack of protection for young artists within creative industries, addressing addiction and trauma in your art, the notion of selling out, backstage rituals, making fun of ‘The Devil’, the Swedish Pop Mafia, how music gets taken out of context, whether or not Natalie Portman a convincing pop icon in the movie and so much more.
So get ready to dance through the pain on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.
