Weekly MVP: Devo on Letterman circa '82

That's right, it's not actually a music video and it's a Devo song other than 'Whip It'.

Those crazy dudes in yellow suits from Akron, Ohio have created some amazing music, but are usually grouped in with all the one-hit-wonders of the 80s. They're a great band, with catchy 'indie' songs and interesting conceptual ideas (like why they are called 'Devo' for instance).

'That's Good' is one of my favorite Devo tracks...so much so that I figured out how to play the lead synth on a MicroKorg (there's a Youtube vid that shows you the proper settings).

Mark Mothersbaugh has a sweet name in my opinion, and some kick ass hair in this video.
