All of that BEFORE Oingo Boingo. So what else?  Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo into Oingo Boingo, Forbidden Zone, Danny Elfman, Little Girls, Only a Lad, KROQ, Bassman vs. Jazz Chorus, The Police, the Cuphead show., Machine-Man “The Museum Mayhem of Raymond Scott” with Ego Plum, <a href="https://youtube.com/live/sbGe47vwPzI?feature=share">Learning important lessons in the studio</a>, and of course <a href="https://www.geraldvcasale.com/collections/music">collaborating with DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale</a>.  Composing vs. Guitaring. The first of two parts!</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Spotify Embed: Ep369: Steve Bartek (Oingo Boingo)" style="border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/6ugj2kHzaIteuQzlnMJBEP?si=6a4b018edf024b54&utm_source=oembed"></iframe> </div></figure> <p></p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="epyt-video-wrapper"><iframe loading="lazy" id="_ytid_64681" width="640" height="360" data-origwidth="640" data-origheight="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WqSFS7ObxyQ?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&" class="__youtube_prefs__ epyt-is-override no-lazyload" title="YouTube player" allow="fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy="1" [...]
