Methusela! (LINK DISABLED)

Author: adminDUE TO CONCERN FOR METHUSELA’S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING THE LINK HAS BEEN DISABLED! THOU SHALT NOT TEMPT THE LORD!
YOU WANTED THE BEST AND YOU GOT…. Methusela’s ‘Black Christmas’.
After much cajoling I have posted this atrocity as one long track. That is the only effective way for its greasy finger of foul despair to reach into your soul and fart happlessly on your psyche.
Recorded in one awe inspiring night of filth and drunkeness. Methusela’s ‘Black Christmas’ represents the yawning chasm of tastelessness that occurs when some dudes have too much time and beer on their hands.
Methusela-guitar, lead vocals, despair
Peabo Chocolunch-bass, vocals, mixing-editing
Curt Vile-drums, vocals, concept
Ben Dover- organ, vocals, memory
Eat the acid…Black Christmas (LINK DISABLED)
Keep in mind that some people find this hysterical, disturbing, stupid, pointless and gross. Much of the time all of these feelings combine into one sad sigh upon basking in the black hole glow of Methusela. Not for kids!
Not only did I witness these sessions firsthand, but repeated listenings to the finished product was the most positive and uplifting thing I had in my life that Xmas season (which says more for the depression I was in than the quality of this, er, “performance”). December ’95, methinks.
Like others – not many others, but others nonetheless – I would love to see widespread underground distribution of this tape ala Buddy Rich, Mark Knopfler, Tube Bar, Shut Up Little Man et al., but you can’t up and plan something like that, can ya?
Merry Christmas!

I found it disturbing. I think I’d just like to picture mark Knopfler listening to this while thinking about what a huge mistake it was when Pick Whithers left the band.
My god man, you MUST take this off the web. The horror, the horror.
Well, it was posted by popular demand. I consider myself unpopular, so you know I DIDN’T DEMAND IT. The holidays are over…should this be deleted? I find it appalling.
You are correct, sir. It is appalling! But not in a good way.
I think it’s funny but have yet to understand why anyone else would. I guess Methusela had it in for the French.
I tell ya what I really hate – suppositories. I’ve got ‘rhoid rage!
