New wave & Post punk

Finally I am able to post videos and this thread is my total no 1 genre.

So let me walk through four of the most influential New wave bands on me....and you may notice a pattern.

The band I have loved for many years and I simply cannot dislike any song of theirs, So I actually got into Devo with a mix of someone I knew made Devo in-jokes and I barley understood what they meant let alone what Devo was...until I researched it and found this which blew my mind from the start on the noises being made to my ears.

This happened after years of listening to this band which I found the tv show Adam and Jo go Tokyo.

Polysics is heavily influence by Devo as well as a Japanese band call P-Model, which is like a Japanese Kraftwerk, I think is the best way I can explain it.

Of which Polysics has opened for Devo many times over the last 10 years (something I wish I could see. Polysics THEN Devo!?)

In college....I actually had a new wave jacket. I had D.E.V.O badges along one side of my chest, I others like Blondie, random stuff I liked. I was THAT guy at college with his long hair.......in 2007! awww yeah.

At the same time as this I found a little indie band that...well...... just look at them and you will see why I liked them. Also their Italian?!

They were not at all famous and have gone dark, however I still remember them. Oh no Its POK is a play on the "oh no its Devo" Album, which is a fanatic album.

So in my college days I was wearing Devo T shirts and badges while just going on about Devo to my punk friends, so much so they knew to look for Devo gear for me cos they knew Id just snatch it up. I snagged the uncommon Devo Anthology "Pioneers who were scalped." has a sort of holographic CD case.

So basically everyone knew I liked Devo so much so people would shout out in the street (these are streets of Scotland in 2007) "ARE WE NOT MEN!" which of course I had to shout back "WE ARE DEVO!" or even get an occasional "SPUD BOY!" which friends took as an offence until I explained and said "Their just a fellow spud."

One time on a date with my girlfriend at a local cafe/bar we enjoyed going to a dude I half knew from college stopped by our table and noticed my Devo T shirt (oh which I just realised I have not seen in 5 years) and said the weirdest...yet maybe the worst thing. "Oh Devo? uhh...yeah...did they not like cover Rage Against the Machine "Beautiful world?"
...." nooooo....Rage Against the Machine covered Devo.

Anyway I have ranted enough let me leave you with this.
