I was blown away to see that Neil's 1982 futuristic opus with Devo is commanding almost $60 on Amazon these days! For the uninitiated, the Neil/Devo alliance came about during Shakey's fascination with Kraftwerk and all things new wave (which is well documented on Trans and several other records that got David Geffen on his ass for "not being Neil Young"), and before there was Greendale, Young created and co-directed Human Highway with Dean Stockwell, casting himself as a goofy gas station mechanic, Devo as glowing, bathed-in-toxic-goo transporters of nuclear waste happily singing their songs in transit, and Dennis Hopper as a short order cook named Cracker. Neil Young with Devo "Hey Hey My My" (Mp3) Ollie and Jerry "Electric Boogaloo" (MP3), Firefox "Radiotron" (MP3), George Kranz "Din Daa Daa" (MP3), Ollie and Jerry "When I.C.U." (MP3), Steve Donn "Gotta Have the Money" (MP3), Carol Lynn Townes "Believe In the Beat" (MP3), Midway "Set It Out" (MP3), Mark Scott "I Don't Wanna Come Down" (MP3), Firefox "Stylin', Profilin" (MP3), Rags and Riches "Oye Mamacita." Bet you didn't know that in the scene where Boogaloo Shrimp breakdances on the walls, they borrowed the rotating room from Nightmare On Elm Street. When I didn't, I received several death threats from irate listeners. Soundtrack "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" (MP3's)Īfter playing this on the air (and playing air electro along with it), I threatened to put the entire 1984 soundtrack up on the blog.
