Devo

"The big excitement is, now we're thirty-something years older, the audience gets to say, 'Will they make it through the show or not?' and who knows - one of us might not make it out of Australia. We might have to leave one of the guys buried in the middle of the country" Yes, Devo are coming back to Australia, for the first time since the '80s, and of course: yes, they've aged. Fortunately, Mark Mothersbaugh's sense of humour shows no sign of dissipating.

"If you don't like it, you can shove it; but you don't like it, you love it," Rivers Cuomo leers in spoken word on Weezer's sixth record. It's a line that, along with the stupendous piss-take of the artwork, perfectly sums up the fearless indignation that pervades the entirety of the 'Red Album', which is essentially a musical fuck you to critics, wayward fans, and most importantly, as evidenced on brilliant lead single Pork And Beans, former label Geffen ("Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the chart/ maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art"). It is also, without the faintest shadow of a doubt, the finest Weezer record since 1996's 'Pinkerton'.
