Came across the Devo 2.0 compact disc today when I was at the record store, and it was just as disturbing as when I came across it on iTunes last Tuesday.



Basically someone put together a group of 12 year-olds and have then sing classic Devo songs. It's thick in irony considering that a number of the Devo songs are supposedly about self-gratification, and the new kids version has released by Disney.

Forgetting that Devo already sorta sold-out with the 2003 Swiffer advertisements ("When a problem comes along...you must Swiff It!"), new wave fans are freaking out all over the internet - especially in the iTunes comments:

"Ever wonder what Devo would sound like if all its members were pre-pubescent children? Yeah, me neither."

"Shoot me! What's next NIN 2.0? Please, Disney! PLEASE stop. What's wrong with kids listening to the original artist? Last time I checked, Devo didn't drop too many f-bombs in their catalogue. This album is a sign of the apocalypse."

Anyway, I think it's all highly amusing, so I decided that Devo 2.0's "Whip it" is the perfect track to kick off this week's playlist.
