...Dance, That Is

In Zac Early's mix we get the many incarnations of the Devil. He's malevolent ("Let The Devil In"), unrelenting ("Satan Said Dance"), seductive ("Hell Is Chrome") and the consummate practical jokester ("Satan Gave Me A Taco").

And, it turns out, he's been the inspiration for some pretty good music.
