see/saw jukebox: devo’s gerald v. casale

see/saw jukebox__ is a bonus podcast about perfect punk records from Punk This Week hosts Nina Corcoran and Evan Minsker. Each episode, we’re joined by special guests to curate perfect punk records for a mythical jukebox.

DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale joins us this time around (following extensive technical difficulties) for a wide-ranging and wonderful chat. We discuss the demise of his alter ego Jihad Jerry (as seen in the music video for “I’m Gonna Pay U Back”), Jerry’s forthcoming solo record Wetiko , the initial hostility from the punk scene and New York music media toward DEVO, the widespread acceptance of DEVO by contemporary punk bands, and so much more. Of course, we each pick a perfect punk record to add to the jukebox. Suffice to say, we talk about some DEVO records. DEVO are on tour right now with dates scheduled throughout 2026.

If you’d like to hear this can’t-miss episode of see/saw jukebox__ or our previous chats with members of the Marked Men, Touché Amoré, Citric Dummies, Optic Sink, MSPAINT, Eraser, and King Tuff, they’re all available exclusively to paid see/saw subscribers ($4/month or $40/year or barter + there’s a two-week free trial)!
