Jim: Prepare to get your dork on.

bp: We are currently preparing a few Micheal Jackk tracks in the Detholz! alter ego cover band, The Incanatations ( http://www.theincantations.com ). Here’s a sampling of my favorite lyrics from “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”:

“Heartbreak Enemy Despise
Eternal (Ah Eternal)
Love Shines In My Eyes (Ooh)
So Let Love Take Us Through The Hours
I Won’t Be Complanin’ (No No)
‘Cause Your Love Is Alright, Alright”

Also, don’t miss the classic ranting and raving at the beginning of that cut. My lands!

That’s a pretty fun track, as far as disco tracks go. A barrel full of warm mayonnaise, indeed! Speaking of disco, for some reason I got the urge to pull out Michael Jackson’s ‘Off the Wall’ recording this week. Good times! Or something.

‘Bab: Rest assured that worrying about disco is at the bottom of my list. It is not a genre of music that inspires worry, after all.

I think I can appropriate a quote from the limo driver in Spinal Tap as per the Detholz! Disco Period:

“I would never tell ‘dem ‘DIS, but… this is a fad.”

Steam: Making memories is what we doo.

Jim: The “missing” DH! album would have had much more than disco on it as you will soon see…

Oh man! A disco EP would be rockin’! Er…disco-in’.
It would be quite nice.

Tis a shame that the rest of the B-sides were not recorded. Perhaps then we could all better understand the obvious ‘change in plans’ the band had between Who Are and Cast Out with a smoother transition.

i think i remember hearing this one back in the day right in the middle of the “who are” standards and thinking, “what the hell was that?” (in a good sort of way)

I think I prefer next new now, but you are surprisingly convincing with the disco. not sure if you should be worried.

you should put out a disco ep

Jim: Splendid! Yeah, there are a few devices in the song (meandering changes, paper-thin, angular guitar descants, etc.) that are reminiscent of earlier DH! approaches to songwriting ala “Who Are The Detholz!?”

This was a song that was written during the transition period between “Who Are” and “Cast Out Devils” — there’s an entire record’s worth of material in there that was never recorded by the full band. I guess we felt all of these songs were better for “B-sides” than for a proper album.

More predictable than Next New Now? Not quite. This song sounds more like authentic DH material whereas Next New Now sounds like authentic disco. I’m really diggin’ this groove. Lovin’ the chord changes. And the chorus. Hell, this whole song is great.
