And I thought they were just pulling a Mel Brooks.
Here’s a snippet from their interview with DiS:
DiS: If this is Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1, then that suggests there’s another part to follow?
Mike D: Yeah. …Pt. 2 is pretty much done. Basically we were making …Pt 1, had too many songs, so we recorded some more songs. Which sounds bizarre but it actually worked out, because it made it clear to us which songs were going to be on …Pt 1. Then we had this whole other album of songs: …Pt 2. …Pt 1’s going to be your regular CD in the stores and to download, but …Pt 2 is going to be released in…we’re still figuring it out, but a different way. More of a 2009 style.
Ad-Rock: MP3s could just rain from the sky.
Mike D: That could be it. Or you could get in the shower one day and, boom, all of a sudden you’re showered with MP3s. Or we might send people a seven-inch every few weeks, so you have a whole box set.
So either they’ll be “pulling a Radiohead” instead, or bringing back 7″-singles clubs. Either one sounds great to me.
DiS also has an analysis of every track from Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 on their site. It’s half insightful, half wanky, but check it out anyway.
