Coop has some thoughts on the fact that Devo is now doing children’s music for Disney.
I can completely appreciate the absolute genius of this DEV2.O thing. It’s probably their single most brilliantly subversive move to implant the concepts of Devolution.
Essentially Devo has taken a page from the playbook of corporate America. Hook’em while they’re young and you have a customer for life. (via BoingBoing. Note some images on Coop’s site are NSFW)
Devo deserves props for being different and creative. What they weren’t was particularly “dangerous” or meaningful. Which makes them great for a Disney kid show 20 years later.
As for Coop, someone should explain to him (or her) that there’s a knob on the TV that you can use to turn it “off”. Then you won’t have to watch the “Wugglies” or whatever it is.
Four words: They Might Be Giants
Q: Are we not the first nerdy alternative band to start making kids records?
A: No.
