The B-52s, originally presented as the B-52's (with an errant apostrophe; used until 2008), are an American new wave band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1976.

Weekly challenge time: Try writing a song with MORSE CODE!

Think "YYZ" (Rush) with its airport-code rhythm, or Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 intro (code for "V").

Encode a message with rhythm (musical cryptogram anyone?) or use it as a hidden texture like "Planet Claire" (B-52s) or "Landing of the Daleks" (The Earthlings).

Bonus points for hidden messages!

This #b52s song, particularly the intro and the hook sounds like it belongs in a video game - how does it sound so #retro yet ahead of its time simultaneously?

I adore the whole oeuvre of artists talking about other artists who had a large impact on them, even moreso when it crosses genre boundaries, double secret even moreso when they're talking about #Devo and #B52s

Case in point, #Questlove: https://mastodon.social/@kottke/113884146039059085

Quote from the article:

That fits into me wanting to show people what creativity is. But there’s also a human element to it, like when Dave Grohl says that as a 9-year-old watching the B-52’s do “Rock Lobster,” he was like, “Yo, those weirdos are my people.”

I will never forget seeing Devo as a 7-year-old. Me and my cousin Kevin spent the night at my Aunt Barbara’s house, laughing like: “Are these aliens? What the hell is this?” Us not knowing about New Wave culture and seeing five white guys with orange things on their heads, singing: “Are we not men? We are Devo.” Then we’re at the basketball court the next day, singing, “Are we not men?,” and all the hood kids were like, “What the hell are you singing?” And then later, “Whip It” became a hit, and that kind of made me and Kevin, like, the hip guys. That’s how the virus spreads. So hearing Grohl say that told me that this could be a human-experience story and not just soup to nuts, how things get made.

Musical Interlude: Listened to these guys for the first time in ages...hard to decide what to post from this album. Their most recognizable song is probably a cliche by now...this lesser track is a favorite of mine, a nice bit of raunchy guitar work and mildly suggestive lyrics.

"Lava," performed by the B-52s.
