Roadkill Radio #1: Devolution w/DEVO’s Gerald Casale
Perhaps one of the most influential music figures of the twentieth century, DEVO’s Gerald Casale’s ethos remains as relevant today as it is brilliant.
In this killer episode of Roadkill Radio, I sit down with DEVO's Gerald Casale to chinwag on a bucketload of topics. The Kent State massacre kicks off the ramble, before a wild left turn sees us rappin’ ‘bout DEVO’s radical beginnings, the philosophy of de-evolution, why government sucks, the proposed DEVO amusement park, energy domes, drumming, and of course, the heady 'Whip it’ days. Gerry’s in a chatty mood, so kick back and consume.
A whole punk, electronic, rap, industrial, and straight up rock n’ roll gets spun too, interweaved between segments such as ‘Fuck You’ and ‘Dirty Mexico’. I have some great sponsors too: 50Thirdand3rd, Girlsville Records, and Dirty Water Records. 3 hours o’ cussin’, noise n’ booklearnin. What else d’ya want?
Tracklist below.
