I agree, thanks Catfish. I never get tired of that song.




"Love And Rockets - Kundalini Train"
Nice train song, never heard before.


..Yes, trains seem to have special place in human soul considering countless songs made of them.


Some of them go to the another worlds and some just to an another city.

Welcome to the weird 70's.



That's Devo and Booji Boi ..and Neil.

Neil was working on a "birthday project" movie called Human Highway and Devo were on a west coast tour when they met. I'm pretty sure Neil did the video for Devo's "Come back, Johnny" (the cowboys in a bowling alley) at the same time.

If you can find Human Highway, check it out. Neil was experimenting with live action filmed on overly-colorful sets and in many ways Human Highway is years ahead of its time.
And yes, once you see Human Highway you'll think of Pee Wee's Playhouse.
Paul Rubens was friends with Mark Mothersbaugh and its no coincidence the sets looked like they did.

Regarding Devo, in general, and Mark Mothersbaugh, in particular; after Devo pretty much disintegrated in the early 90s, Mark Mothersbaugh and a couple of other band mates formed a multimedia production company in Hollywood and Mark has made quite a reputation for himself and his company in the fields of film/tv music, art design, graphics, and media production, to name a few of their successes. The company is housed in a unique circular building that has long been a landmark on the Sunset Strip ;





The building was once painted white, but Mark had it painted green when he moved in; the building has an interesting back story:

Some of the other former Devo members have in the past or still have set up other design/production ventures of their own in Hollywood. To think this all started out as a performance art piece by a bunch of art students from Kent State in Ohio...


This is one of my favorite Devo live performances:

Nah, the Source Family was way too hippy-dippy for my tastes; like a lot of the other cults (The Family, Tony & Susan Alamo, etc.), they were always trying to recruit on the streets of Hollywood, but I just ignored them; never was one for joining up and giving in to any group or belief. Back in the 60s and 70s, there were tons of various cults, factions, and contingents all up and down Hollywood Blvd. and the Sunset Strip trying to con us youngsters into following whatever "one true way" they were peddling; oddly, when I was in San Francisco, where you would presume such proselytizing would be rampant, there was not the hard sell found in LA, nor the feverish pitches used by the LA cults...


The Source Family actually owned a health food restaurant on the Sunset Strip that catered to the stars and celebrities; never went there, myself; not interested in their scene and I was more likely to be up around The Whisky. I had heard of the group you posted, but had never heard any of their music; by that sample, I really didn't miss much at all...


Now, to more interesting matters: I was thinking about one of my ex's today and I was remembering how we would often argue with each other and often she would just turn and walk away; the arguments were regrettable, but, I must say, the view of her storming away was highly memorable...
