Oh ok...here it is. 'Bend It Like Bender'

(You! ...in the Nasum shirt!  ...look away!!!)

I know...I know...it's a pretty bippy-boppy-Euro-type dance track, but you know? guilty as charged when it comes to loving that stuff. I remember hearing The Vengaboys 'We Like To Party' back when it came out and it nearly brought me to tears (I was cutting onions at the time...) something about EASY, FUN music that takes very little effort to enjoy...or detest as the case may well end up being .

So yeah, I wrote a song like that. ppppttthhhhhhhhhpppppppphhhhhhhh.....

I'm working on album three of the DTP quartet right now, Deconstruction.  And it's such brained out, complicated nonsense, that while I was writing it (all 4 albums were written during the same period) I remember just finishing the track 'Traestorz' (Deconstruction) and my brain was reeling. Super complicated metal madness, and I was like, 'ENOUGH!!!' and threw my lube down in revulsion and laid into Bender with a 'phat ass beat' y'all.

'We are one and we have found they only wanted you around
To hold it down, so hold your ground,
We won't be here forever!
We are young and we have fun and all we've found in being around is 'All and all' and 'Holy cows'
While things keep getting heavy!
Hang on to your man and
Hang on to your woman and
HANG ON!!!'

Whats it about? Ah, indeed young knave, gather ye round and I shall despense the benevolent meaning of this cosmic connundrum upon thee:

ready..?

It's a play on the title 'Bend It Like Beckham' and the robot from Futurama named 'Bender', because he's into partying, and the records called 'Addicted'. Yup. Oh...and 'Bender' and 'Bekham' both start with the letter 'B'.

Anneke VanGeirbergen ladies and Germs...Anneke VanGeirbergen. Did I mention I love Abba as well? Well I do. AND we're still metal.

Again, all 4 records were written together...which was good for me, because when I would get all antsy with Ki, I would unload with Deconstruction, then get offended by my own pretension and rock some good vibes with Addicted, then when I would feel like it was ALL stupid, I'd write for Ghost, and make some dead country voices.

So yeah, enjoy. Or don't. I do.

Lastly, There's a time and a place for fat, shirtless men with head tattoos to bump into each other and yell, and a time and a place for women to move like the beautiful creatures they are.

...just sayin'

dev.

Haha, it is quite a different style, but that's one of the many great things about your music. Always changin, switching it up. Interesting to hear all the records have been written already, too. ..
....Loving Bend it Like Bender. I'm not one to listen to pop (unless it's power pop), but hell, this is some awesome devypop. ..

DEVIN you and your music have been a huge inspiration to me and the music i create with my band. esp OCEAN MACINE, i have the cd in my truck now and every few months i dust it off and take a soul searching journey with that masterwork of yours. of all the music being created in the last 10 years its you and a small bunch of other bands like enslaved, absu, akercocke , etc that keep me going, everything else these days sucks. peace, bro

..Dear Mr. Townsend,

Bend It Like Bender is fabulous, in my opinion.
You have such a unique style.
Like a peacock in a pidgeon party, for this album's style, you'll be recognized.
Thank you for your hard work.
I cannot wait to give you my money.

Flood of Rain

 
for the best part of a decade now, ive been following your music, it has been a twisty winding road and at times, has tested my musical tastes, but in the end, ive always come out of it a better person.
thanks to your creativity and musical evolution, i have been able to expand on the genres of music i listen to and learn to appreciate the things that a younger version of me would have merely scoffed at.

I owe a lot you and a hand full of artists who have always written music from the heart. Kudos to you, Devin and your musical world
