Interview with Mark Mothersbaugh...it's a bit of a commercial for Berkleemusic, but it's an interesting interview about his TV and film scoring, plus some other stuff:

Speaking of which, I just saw a DVD of Devo performing in Japan a few years ago...industrial jump suits and DEVO hats just don't quite cut it for band members who are pudgy, graying hair and old (like my age). The performances weren't bad, but it was a really sad on-stage spectacle. There were some good interviews on it, though. Like when they were asked "Do you find it different performing in Japan now than it was 25 years ago?" The answer: "It was easier to have sex back then."

More interviews with him, especially talking about his scores:

Since I am wearing my Jimi Hendrix shirt, here is one of my fav solos

pure genius!

Machine Gun

especially when the main solo starts. Very futuristic to me

Damned video ended too soon! Hedrix has always only been on the fringe of my listening. He doesn't grab me right off, but while listening to this he did what sometimes happens with his pieces...he sneaks up and captivates you slowly with a hypnotic power. Once he pulls you into that place, you're right there with him and it's like there's a direct flow of emotion...not really from him to you, but more like it's oozing out of his guitar by itself and everyone around is enveloped, including Hedrix.

Astounding stuff, as well as being a very timely and poignant song (I can't vouch for the veracity of these lyrics, however):

Machine gun, yeah
Tearing my body all apart

Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though were only families apart

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(you know what I mean)
Hey! and your bullets keep knocking me down

Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground

The same way you shoot me down, baby
Youll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
And your own self to blame
Hey, machine gun

I aint afraid of your mess no more, babe
I aint afraid no more
After a while, your, your cheap talk dont even cause me pain,
So let your bullets fly like rain

'Cause I know all the time youre wrong baby
And you'll be going just the same
Yeah, machine gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart

(dont you shoot him down)
(hes bout to leave here)
(dont you shoot him down)
(hes got to stay here)
(he aint going nowhere)
(hes been shot down to the ground)
(oh where he cant survive, no, no)

Yeah, thats what we dont wanna hear anymore, alright?
(no bullets)
At least here, huh huh
(no guns, no bombs)
Huh huh
(no nothin, just lets all live and live)
(you know, instead of killin)

May this be
Love or just
Confusion born out of
Frustration wracked
Feelings - of not
Being able to
Make true physical
Love to the
Universal gypsy queen
True, free expressed music
Darling guitar please
Rest. amen
