New Devo

The first full length Devo album in 20 years, “Something For Everybody”, is available today. What I’ve heard so far sounds really good. From 11 a.m to 8 p.m. PST they will be streaming the entire album as the soundtrack to a live cat party. Tune in live to see 20 cats getting down to the new DEVO album for 9 whole hours. Cats + Devo = Mass Appeal. http://www.ustream.tv/devo

Hessian Hobbies

It’s so damn hot in PA that chillin in the a.c. doesn’t seem like a bad choice, at least until the Cult premiere tonight. That means plenty of time to kill on the internets. Here’s something I found while surfin. I wish my dad was this cool…

The Mercury Program

I went to see The Mercury Program at Kung Fu Necktie in Philly last night. I brought the camera and snapped some photos, even though looking at pictures of these guys playing does them about as much justice as listening to the sound only from your favorite bmx video. The Mercury Program are real musician’s musicians. They’re insanely tight and complex, not far different from a jazz band. Their sound is difficult to describe, so just listen to some of songs embedded in the next few pages, it’s really amazing stuff.

Buck Buck

Since the Aaron Buckley photo feature posted today didn’t have any shots of Aaron riding, I found one from last summer to throw up here. Aaron is the kind of guy that makes riding look easy, even when he’s not trying. He’s one of those guys you curse under your breath because he’s too good. This is a photo of him not even trying and still looking totally stylish (bastard).

Slayer Goes To Church

I’m just going to keep posting these videos until I get fired from Least Most. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the legitimate journalism they were hoping for. Via @edwardkoenning.

AJW

Legendary Philly artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright has always had a passion for toilet humor. In fact you could say it’s his forte. He even used to produce a zine called BMQ (short for Bowel Movement Quarterly). Today he’s taking his brand of humor to video with “A Sleeping Girl and a Bowl of Warm Water”. Please enjoy.

Here’s a centerfold scanned from BMQ, circa late 90’s. Take a minute to watch this video too, it’s pure genius.

Old People Rock

I realize we’ve been going overboard with the cheesy internet videos lately, but I couldn’t pass this one up. Slayer is officially old guy music.
