Once again, Reynolds is brilliant about Devo

..."Jocko Homo" and it's B side "Mongoloid" were recorded in a garage with no heating during a freezing winter, with the band wearing gloves. After five wilderness years in Akron, playing only a handful of gigs and funding the band through a series of grim jobs, the singles were Devo's calling card to the wider world. "No one will ever know the effort it took for us to get out of Akron, " says Casale. Akron was like a boot camp. We practiced day and night, at weekends, when other people were out getting loaded and getting laid, over and over until we got good.
