Calling all music lovers! Join us for 33 1/3 Classic Albums - a new series celebrating our love of the perfect album. 33 1/3 is a series of short books about popular music, each focusing on an iconic individual album that occupies a specific place in music history. Meet the authors who took on these seminal records and bring your questions.

Music and culture journalist Evie Nagy discusses Freedom of Choice, Devo's galvanizing 1980 record that made them "insurgent superstars," nominated this year to join the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Join us for en evening with her, discussing this iconic band and album. From author Sean Howe -- “Get straight! Go forward! There's no Hazmat jacket required to whip through Freedom of Choice, which motors through Devo's rich history...and vividly renders the very human souls behind the automaton anthems that devolutionized an era.” 

Evie Nagy is the former Music Editor at Billboard and Managing Editor at Rollingstone.com, as well as a former staff writer at Fast Company. Her work was published in Best Music Writing 2010, and she co-wrote the afterword to Out of the Vinyl Deeps, an anthology of rock writing by the late Ellen Willis, the New Yorker's first pop music critic. She now works in tech and lives in Oakland, CA with her husband, two daughters and two cats.
