What can you say about one of the best records, if not the best, ever to come out of the punk scene? Simply this: it took vision to make it, and a fucking mind-meld to actualize it, kinda like whatever hold James Brown had on his ‘60s and ‘70s ensembles: the psychic lock-down, a…
Excellent summary by Douglas on my favorite album pretty much of all time.
The Flesh Eaters – A Minute To Pray A Second To Die LP (Superior Viaduct)
How about we post last week’s podcast again, in case you haven’t streamed or downloaded it yet…?
You can pretty much set your watch by the arrival of a new DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO podcast, every two or three weeks or so, give or take a few days on either end. Our newest edition is our fortieth (four-zero; #40) and was recorded on the 4th of July in a place where said day is utterly meaningless and uncelebrated. I’ve been enjoying larding these shows up with new stuff rather than mp3s from my outrageously bountiful mp3 collection (you should see it!), primarily because every two weeks I keep hearing new stuff I think is totally rad. Case in point: THE COOLIES, PIECE WAR, THE YAKKS, DARK TIMES, MEN OH PAUSE, POW!, WOLF GIRL and COLD BEAT – all brand new. All great – or else we wouldn’t play it, right?
There’s also the new reissue of The Flesh Eaters’ “A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die” to contend with, as well as important material that its essential you listen to from Tales of Terror, The Milky Ways, Naked Spots Dance and others. It’s one hour and a few minutes, and it’s available for download on iTunes and Soundcloud and in other spots as well – like right here.

Definitely recommend this article on the “Phantom Billstickers” blog that explores how Tom Lax came to be the world’s premier archivist of New Zealand’s underground sound. His Siltbreeze Records, which has been putting out weird art, punk, noise and trash from NZ (and points elsewhere) for over 25 years, is in the throes of a pretty deep New Zealand excavation programme right about now.
This will be occurring in Los Angeles, CA later this month. Let us know how it was.
“…put these brotherly lovers on the top American craftsmen list because they’re hitting all the right smokestorm buttons, right now.”

MONKEY 101 review by Jay Hinman, Editor
- Jay may have written this ode to Monkey 101 22 years ago, but the “right now" part applies today, cuz they just posted their unreleased 1993 LP + the Silbreeze and Papa Popov 7”!
"We met up with Paul and Bob outside the Philadelphia Record Exchange last August. Here’s what they had to say.
Tom Leader: You guys seem like some kind of enigma. Do you still play music?
Paul: Yes, I’ve been playing with my band Chino for the last ten years or so.
Bob: I have also.
TL: What do you think of the current music scene?
Bob: A bit like Manchester, England here.
Paul: I really like …
TL: Do you guys have an idea if you’ll be getting back together again soon?
Paul: Yes.
Bob: I would rather play than pay today.
TL: Do you have much contact with any of the bands that were around when you were playing?
Paul: I don’t talk to Sonic Youth that much anymore, you know the breakup, but I still am in contact with Norman Greenbaum.
Bob: We still talk to Ashtray.
TL: What was the last time you guys got together to write a song?
Paul: During the Fairport Convention era.
Bob: At least a couple of minutes ago.The sky was beginning to set on South Street so we shook hands and talked to Jose.”
Just listened to “transistor” a few weeks ago!

“There was absolutely no way that bands like the Bags, Germs or Screamers would have been signed to
a major label. I still don’t hear anything quite as confrontational as “We Will Bury You” or “Richie Dagger’s Crime” on the radio, no matter what people say about punk being mainstream
nowadays. One thing that will never come into fashion is challenging the expectations of the average consumer.”Agony Shorthand interview with Alice Bag.
