Rachel Anderson: There’s always value in bad movies, even if it’s just as MST3k/RiffTrax fodder… though some barely make it to that level. (Although I don’t, really, but that’s beside the point.) It kind of changed a lot of people’s perspectives on independent film and it would be interesting to see an alternate history of independent film. And for another, I’ll say that I’d eliminate Slacker, but not because I don’t like it. The angriest I can remember ever being at a movie was Soul Survivors, so I’ll chose that as one. If you had the power to eliminate two films from the history of the world, what would they be?Īlex Brunelle: I’ve seen a lot of movies, and a lot of bad movies, but it’s hard to think of ones that I thought were so bad that they should be taken out of history. If I had to narrow it down, I’d say my well worn Booji Boy DEVO T-Shirt, followed closely by a plain black pocket tee.Īt this moment in time, what is your favorite song?Īlex Brunelle: People still ask other people this question? Uhmm… “The Mesopotamians” by They Might Be Giants. It was recently reproduced by Wolfgang’s Vault. But I have to say that my favorite t-shirt is a DEVO t-shirt, featuring Booji Boy as the New Years Baby from their concert. I have a bit of pride in my t-shirt collection. What’s your favorite T-shirt (or if you prefer not to wear t-shirts, your favorite article of clothing otherwise)?Īlex Brunelle: That’s a hard quesiton. (And, remember, if you happen to have any rare DEVO material that the Basement doesn’t already have - get in contact with them! New stuff is always welcomed! The Basement was started in 2004 by Alex Brunelle, Tom Chiki and Robert Lee (the latter two left to found The New Wave Vault) and re-designed/hosted by Rachel Anderson - two hardcore DEVO fans, and it’s been going strong ever since, working to get this stuff out to devoted spuds, and always working on improving the quality of the source material - including putting lots of rare video material on new DVD compilations.

David Kendrick has also contributed some source recordings as well. In fact, Bob1’s given an interview to the site (and, in return, the site was instrumental in recovering the guitar used in the Girl U Want video.

The great thing about the site is that it’s sanctioned by the band - no worries about it being shut down or anything. A revival of the old DEVO Bootleg Archive started by Mike Watters, Booji Boy’s Basement features loads of DEVO material, including demos, shows, video material, and material from related groups, like the Bob 1 Band (featuring Bob 1 and David Kendrick of DEVO) and Babooshka (Alan’s post-DEVO band), as well as loads of stuff from Mark Mothersbaugh‘s Mutato Muzika and, well, just about anything else you could imagine. Many DEVO fans know about Booji Boy’s Basement - or if they don’t they should.
