"a minute to pray, a second to die" by: chris d.

chris d. is known in the sound realm for his work singing for late 70's los angeles punk rock unit "the flesh eaters" (which also harnessed the skills of other l.a. players then making their initial markings), and later "the divine horsemen". "a minute to pray, a second to die" (the title of a flesh eaters album) is a deep collection of writing which spans his career from there to here.
the 30 or so years encapsulated in this text easily blasts holes through the mind, in a slow motion scene with strobing lights. it's a dream journal or life written as a dream journal and a clue-in to the systemic cinematic infection that has been the furnace for so much of this man's career. there is technique to his madness.
death ballad scrapings and an outlaw director's view-finder. pulp + noir. doesn't put your mind at easy.i went to his reading late last year. it was indeed taser factory. mary waronov read as well which was also incredible as hell.
i think he might be doing readings various cities...maybe yours?
