A minute to pray, a second to die...


The Flesh Eaters 'Forever Came Today' (1982)
When Chris D. shrieks, "Oh, box of chaos, oh box of chaos!" one would be hard pressed to find a better description of the third Flesh Eaters LP. With yet another backing band (only Steve Berlin remains on sax), slightly more straight forward rock, "this is the way to exhaltation/this is the way to paradise/bloody hands, skinned up knees/bloody hands, skinned up knees."

I just wanted to let you know that I started a music blog directory of sorts called the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll. The url is http://music-bloggers.blogspot.com I'm not sure of the exact number of blogs listed at the moment, but there are several hundred as of yet. I hope you'll decide to check it out.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Flesh Eaters are a tragically underappreciated band. I've been dying to hear this record for a while.

I moved this blog to the Garage Rock category on the DM blogroll. I also added Boogie Chillin' and Licentious & Dissolute to the categories that you suggested. It's not a requirement, but if you could provide a link back to the blogroll I would greatly appreciate it. Take care my friend.
