Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo) | Broken Record
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2023
- The lead singer and keyboardist for Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh, is an avant-garde, new wave pioneer. Although critics sometimes classify Devo as a joke band, the Akron, Ohio art-punks’ ethos was created in response to a very serious event-the 1970 shooting at their college, Kent State. Following the incident, the band took on the name “Devo,” short for what they felt was organized society’s “de-evolution.”
Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s Devo helped lay the groundwork for DIY, anti-establishment bands by releasing bizarre and left-of-center music and conceptual films that helped usher in the music video revolution.
In addition to his work with Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh has also created a long and successful career scoring for TV and film. His credits include, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, The Rugrats TV show and movies, and he’s scored several classic Wes Anderson-directed films including The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore.
On today’s episode Justin Richmond talks to Mark Mothersbaugh about how he developed his quirky sensibility as one of five kids growing up in a chaotic household with exotic animals. Mark also tells a story about the time Richard Branson suggested that Johnny Rotten join Devo after the Sex Pistols broke up.

ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

Before punk there was De-Evolution in Akron and when they got to SNL people were dazed and confused. Satisfaction was incredible and even Mick got it.
I saw DEVO at Gaston hall at Georgetown University in DC 1979 and it was a fantastic show. The high gothic architecture of the hall that looked like someplace where the Spanish inquisition trials would be held and here is the band from the future preaching Devolution. A surreal experience to say the least.
If it wasn't surreal then it wasn't DEVO you heard playing. They were ahead of the curve even in the mid 70s.

Devo Live - The Mongoloid Years has the Halloween 1975 set that Mark is talking about where the crowd loses it and the show falls apart.
Yes, Mark seems to have forgotten that they released it.
The liner notes on that are awesome. Everyone was doing nitrous and NOT enjoying Devo? How?! 😂
Devo changed my life.
Happy 50th Anniversary to DEVO and De-Evolution. I love you Booji Boy.
WE'RE ALL DEVO! THANKS FOR THIS AND THANK YOU MARK / DEVO 🥔
We need a Devo story time show
great interview wow such awesome stories!!
Awesome interview, sweet guy
Fantastic conversation with the musical genius Mark Mothersbaugh
The Best Frontman in history.
Incredible front man. Devo does not get the respect they deserve.
Great interview. MM always has great stories, though not sure about that Beatles one. I wish interviewers would ask him about his vocal style. He doesn't get enough credit for it.
Great interview!
Idk man, after Something for Everybody, I'm pretty open to hearing new DEVO. LOVE that album
If you haven't got it, Something Else for Everybody is awesome too.
holy sheet never knew Mothersbaugh was at Kent St
Thanks so much!
The amount of AWs in this is off the charts. I love it.
boogie boy! saw DEVO 1980 new years eve in long beach in our ripstop nylon jumpsuits - duty now for the future
@docter Going forward, we ALL must acknowledge that DUTY!..
Dude I've heard the bootleg of that gig, that's like the dream DEVO gig. Believe was the first time they played girl u want and whip it live? They also played fountain of filth which is rarer than rare, the mysterious Christian rock band DOVE also opened for them.
Wow, that's interesting! I did not know that: what a beautiful world!@@WinslowLeach-ko5wz

Mark is a musical genius
Mark is not only a musical genius he’s an artistic genius
Mark is cool
Not sure MM has the Rust Never Sleeps story right. Rust Never Sleeps was a Rust Oleum slogan from 1979. Never heard anything about Midas Muffler nor could I find anything suggesting such.
Go outside without your phone for at least an hour and get a second hobby, quickly.
Hahaha
The crazy thing is that Joni Mitchell apparently developed
Morgellons disease 47:26
DEVO far from just a fun Band far from it when you see DEVO you were in for a great CONCERT..That my fist sober concert Massey Hall Toronto Ontario 1981 that was 43 years a go..
