The Detroit subversive funk-soul group Was (Not Was) are out with their first new album, Boo!, in 18 years. There's an interview with Don Was, in the Inky Weekend section. The band plays the World Cafe Live on Friday. Below are a bunch of videos: the brand new "Semi-Interesting Week," from Jools Holland's British TV show last week, the Sweet Pea Atkinson-featuring hit "Spy in the House Of Love," the slightly demented recitation "I Feel Better Than James Brown," and "I Blew Up the United States," of which David Was has said that he was "offended that [it] didn't end up on the post-9/11 list of banned songs."
