The War on Disco

I have struck a blow in our cause comrades. Disco will live again!

As many of you may know I've been loyal to the cause for some time, that instinctual bass player drive to bring disco back. I vowed to insert a little bit of disco into every song I play and finally my plans are coming to fruition.

'I Wonder,' Alex Ivy's smash hit sweeping the nation, well, sweeping Ireland, which is a nation according to Google. So ya, nation sweeping hit! Also getting some airplay in America too and yes, inernet radio totally counts damn it!

I managed to subtly insert a disco groove towards the end of 'I Wonder!'

Alex is too young to know about the disco so she didn't even notice and our sound engineer kept his silence.

Keep faith brothers! Disco LIVES!!!

Support the cause! Buy an album! Buy two!

Lol was that the disco riot at a baseball game in the 70's? I rememebrr reading about that. hahaha

 

You don't HEAR the disco, you feel it, in your heart. Only when you accept disco into your heart, will you ever know peace.

Know Disco
Know Peace

 

Exactly the same! Except kinda different!

The war on Disco is far more damaging to bass players than the war on drugs or Christmas. Seattle struck a blow on the war on drugs by legalizing pot and now we strike a blow against the Disco heathens.

 

See! Anti Disco people also hate Baseball and America.

 

I slipped an arrangement of Sir Duke in to my big band! Can't stop, won't stop!



We won't sound half as good as these cats but still.

 

I can dig that, and frankly rock kicks ass too, it's not an either or thing for me. Disco was a bit of a back lash to rock from the predominantly minoriity community at the time. it was about dancing, which arguably has been what music has been about since it's inception. It was all about strong groove and the bass line. Surely it became a little mechanical and stale but hell, 4 on the floor gets old after a while no matter what tune it is, but the disco fundamental bass centered groove was winsauce in a bottle happy fun times.

Guitar players are part of the conspiracy as their parts in disco we're pretty damn boring.

Disco Guitar: Deet deetdeet deetdeet deet deet!

Disco Bass: Boom boom, scoobee do bee bop ka ploom, bop a dooooooo pow boom bop weeeeeeeeeee!"

 

If we define lousy as fairly uninteresting music from a musicians stand point, then ok, but people bought it! People still by country western and polka too! They don't generally care about that sweet D dorian lick I just whipped out on whatever jazz standard we're playing. Sometimes they want more primitive music, the groove that compels you to shake your booty.

Rock certainly can get you to shake your booty too, but disco has highwater bellbottoms.

 

Naive! You speaketh folly! Meantone temperment or poverty!

This well tempered clavier stuff is just a fad anyway.
