I was listening to “Girl U Want” and “Freedom of Choice” the other day and it struck me how much of a straight ahead rock band they were. We all had the impression that they were new wave electronica, but they sound pretty organic by today’s standards.

All that I really want from this is more detail about the time Mark Mothersbaugh (lead singer of Devo) had an existential crisis after hearing Weird Al's style-parody song 'Dare to be Stupid' because he thought it was a better Devo song than anything they had ever written.

She directed The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled and On the Rocks.

She's one of my favorite directors. Her first three movies- The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette- are three of my favorite movies. I don't like her next four- Somewhere, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled and On the Rocks- nearly as much but they're still good.

She's currently working on Priscilla about Elvis and Priscilla's relationship. I'm looking forward to it and I'm hoping it's as good as her first three movies.
