play list - 05/20/2010

devo has a new album coming out june 15th, which i'm pretty excited about.  they've been sarcastically marketing it as a product from "devo inc." that has been developed via focus groups.  they had an online flash application called the "devo song study" that let users pick their favorites from a list of new songs, and the ones that got the most votes made it on the new album.  here's a video of one of their pretend focus groups:

If you liked that one, this one is good too.

so i started with devo, then i played some more 80's music, got into some reggae and ska and various other stuff.
