Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: janaage on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 09:08:27 Cheers for that Mark, superb result bringing this fella in, just what we needed, especially with the way the season's ended up (well going to end up).
I'm already looking forward to next season now. Think this will lift the fans no end! Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 09:10:23 i'm going to give him a great big hug when i see him next.
Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: janaage on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 09:20:06 He's turning into a bit of a fans favourite. Long may it continue.

That Flasher Mac is to MD what the Sheepskin is to Motson. I'm starting a campaign to Save the Flasher Mac - we'll get English Heritage to put a preservation order on it or something.

What? Keeping the rain off? Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 21:56:12 There's only one Mark Devlin,
There's only one Mark Devlin, With a packet of... crap I've forgot how the nice version of the song goes. Meh. But the point I was trying to make is that sir, you are a hero. Coercing poor Mr. Power into throwing his money down the drain... Only messing, hopefully this will start a turn-around in our fortunes. Bill Power comes across as an ace bloke in the interview. Seems his interests are more in wanting to be involved and leaving a football legacy than money grabbing which is probably the most encouraging aspect. Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 22:13:01 JA.....calling Mark D....Devo is a bit confusing as it reminds me of the band.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/Reg__Smeeton/devo.jpg Saw them at Knebworth circa 76 or 77? An interesting if more than slightly pretentious outfit from the US, who I'd heard on John Peel and wanted to see. They got canned and bottled off by Genesis fans, who were headlining and I never bothered waiting to see.....having seen them a fair few times years earlier with Peter Gabriel, when they were a bit more interesting. Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 22:16:34 i was just thinking about devo as well reg. a rather strange band but did some remarkably catchy tunes as well.
Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 22:16:38 I was thinking of the band as well, I believe Nirvana were big fans, think they covered one of their songs.
Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 22:19:57 indeed they did, turnaround off incesticide was a devo tune.
some of nirvana's best work were covers - molly's lips (vaselines), oh me, plateau (both meat puppets), where did you sleep last night? (leadbelly). Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: TalkTalk on Thursday, April 27, 2006, 22:32:00 I saw Devo at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979.
ARE WE NOT MEN? WE ARE DEVO! Still got some of their vinyl. Off beat but interesting. Parallel to Talking Heads in some ways, but more basic. Title: Great work Devo!! Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, April 28, 2006, 03:42:13 Devo are still going. They toured the UK last year.
Now who did Devlin bring in ? Will have to read a bit more methinks ! NMH |
