Gotta say
Don't Shoot I'm a Man has one of the most angular and strange non-chorus choruses Devo has come up with in a loooong time. Devo is at their best when they're not trying to be pop but weird.

I can credit the musical guests on early SNL to shaping my musical tastes. I was in the 5th grade and the hippy crap never appealed to me…but bring on early Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Devo or the B-52s and my ears perked up and my eyes widened. The stuff was so weird and subversive and for some reason it stuck a…

I would suggest you go in chronological order from Q: Are we not men? up to Oh No, It's Devo. Not only is their best work on those first 5 albums, but you can also observe how the band's sound and songwriting evolved. It amazes me how each one of those albums has it's own very individual sonic fingerprint.

Late posting
I know I'm super late posting to this review, but being a Devo fan since their 80's heyday I had to chime in.

So many to mention
The Minutemen's last headlining tour
Sonic Youth Daydream Nation tour
REM when they still played small venues
Beta Band…we were attending their last tour and the power went, d'oh!

I thought it was for fabulous.

Embryonic brought me back in their corner. There have been a few killer songs on the past few albums, but I felt they were just treading water. Embryonic is a bit scary sounding, a bit odd and a challenging listen. As a friend of mine put it, "It's like being in a nightmare that you don't want to wake up from." Good…

Who's next?
I'm sooooo gunning for Jacqueline, Ohio guy or fat girl from Georgia (who also seemed really beeeyatchy).

Jacqueline reeks of someone who CLAIMS she can cook, but relies on the skills and expertise of her hired hands to get the job done. Her pathetic fumbling and apparent lack of even the most elementary knife skills during the quick fire challenge made me hate her almost as much as greasy hippy fuck who got the boot.

South Side!
Just wanted to acknowledge his south side shout out.

Don't forget…

Being in the same age bracket, I heartily agree. The t.v. show was pretty freaky and trippy for Saturday morning fare.

Body count
Any takers to guesstimate Raylan's final body count for the season? It's gotta be in the high teens/twenties, no?

Sniper question
So did the sniper mean to shoot Boyd's daddy, or was he just a crappy sniper? I loved when Raylan starts shooting blind with both guns into the woods…very John Woo.

I dunno, Johnny took a shotgun blast point-blank. Doesn't make for a good prognosis.

The saddest thing…
There's still no cure for Entitilitus.

Finally some good news
All I gotta say is that I've had a spectacularly crappy morning and this is very happy news.

Olyphant and Goggins
Their chemistry is definitely a factor as to why this show kicks ass. Their interaction wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable with different actors.

Next war miniseries?
Korea please. It's been sadly overlooked. Plus it's the war my dearly departed dad was in.

Yes it will be Okinawa and yes, it will be extremely ugly.
