KingLou Drops Science 2.0

My pal Finn did me the great disservice of alerting me to one of the greatest travesties to befall my chershed childhood favorite band, Devo. Apparently, Disney has decided to make a new kid friendly child band to do Devo covers. The name of this super awesome meag team? Dev2.0. It's hard to decide what I think it the worst part of this offense. I mean, Devo was the bomb to me when I was a kid. I loved their bizzaro theory of de-evolution, their obsession with asians, potatos and recombo-DNA labs. They've never been as successful commercially as I really thought they should be but thats what any good fanboy will say about their pet band. Seriously, their song for Dr. Detroit should be the national anthem. That's right, of the United States. CALL THE DOCTOR! Anyway, this new Dev2.0 is insane. Kids watching this today out of context will think this is totally shitty, which it is, but for all the wrong reasons. I guess all the weird potato and subversive imagery is there for the parents who might have some clue of what Devo was all about but it's just weird if you don't know the real band. The videos section, which I think is there to sell the DVD of these awesome songs, contain possibly the least inspired performance of DEVO songs possible. The girl singer looks like a retarded mannequin & she moves like a reanimated corpse. I think I might remove my eyes instead of watching the videos again. There is like 1 part of devo per million of disney shitty shit. I know in my heart that this will NEVER take off because 1) kids won't like it 2) It's like the shittiest half-assed thing I have seen in a while. Classic Disney re-tread. Blech. I wonder if they will keep the Rod Router and Big Daddy Know-it-all plots that kept the band so interesting. If I ever hear these kids say "Disease in punishment" I may change my mind but I doubt it. Feh. Rant over and out.
