Believer Interview with Mark Mothersbaugh

Here's my conversation with Mark Mothersbaugh, composer of music for the films of Wes Anderson and many others, and founder of DEVO. "We had a different take on things than other people into music at the time," he says, talking about DEVO's early days. "And the first people who we unleashed our wonderful talents on were either confused by what we were doing--because it was so different from what was happening in the mainstream music scene at the time--or actually scared, because they didn’t understand us."
