You can recognize Mickey Miles‘ singular, hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation style the moment you see it. His soulful lines, vibrant but warm colors, and a playful ’70s-inspired aesthetic have made him a go-to for artists like Alex Izenburg, Robbing Millions, the essential New Commute blog, and even avant-garde icon John Cale, who tapped Miles for his Davie Bowie-inspired video for “Night Crawling.” Listen:

Welcome to the 10th episode of WASTOIDS Music News. This week, Bandcamp forms a union, Ween’s going on tour, there’s a new Devo doc, Bully album, and Sly Stone book on the way—and maybe an alien mothership too.

You’ve probably heard Devo’s “Whip It”—but have you heard all the stories behind it? On this all-new episode of The Spindle podcast, Marc and John welcome guest Evie Nagy, author of the 33.3 book Devo’s Freedom Of Choice, to dive into the tales of this deep and weird single, which somehow made the top 20 despite people (wrongly) assuming that it was about masturbation. Find out what “Whip It” really means, this week on the Spindle!
