Now it can be told...

Overview

Now, the complete truth can be told...Devo, the seminal New Wave audio-visual concept band made a career out of setting to music video their Dada-gone-camp theory of de-evolution and its riotous rebuke of corporate culture. Punk/New Wave mad scientists Devo were among the few bands to understand the music video's potential as art form during its infancy in the eighties. Their brilliant and bizarre videos were compiled on VHS and then on laser disc; that long out-of-print disc, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, has finally arrived on DVD, which should please longtime fans of this eclectic outfit.

Pięć bajek o miłości

Invalid Date

“I am incredibly greedy for feelings," says Kora. She explains this hunger for affection by her dramatic childhood as a four-year-old, estranged from her parents. She is constantly looking for love and people. I love and can't live without a person, I hate as sincerely as possible. Neither a duck, nor a cat, nor a beach, a tree, the sun, nor the stars, the sea, nor the cosmos - everything I admire - can replace this wicked man for me." Kora creates fairy tales all the time. Five of the tales she tells come from the album "Bed": "Just Be," "That's What You're In The World For," "They Say Love Lives in Heaven," Bed" and "They Say Love Lives in Heaven - Reprise." The link between the songs is an "interview" with Kora, her opinion on various topics forming a portrait of the performer.
