Freak Scene: Dan Melchior Guest Columnist
- story THE FADER
A few weeks ago Dan Melchior came to town to play a few shows and record a session for WFMU. Instantly I was reminded of the powerful, joyous glee of rock music in its most distilled and perfectly romantic form. As Melchior and his band Das Menace ripped through songs from his ever-extensive back catalog as well as tracks from his new LP Christmas For the Crows on the Daggerman label, all my problems and worries vanished for a spell while my brain absorbed the distorted guitar vamps and anti-hip rhetoric. As I wait with baited breath at my mailbox for my copy of the new LP to arrive, I asked Mr. Melchior to take the helm as guest columnist and talk about his recent fave recordings and as always Melchior is ahead of the game. So enjoy a trip into Melchior’s world and then go out and buy his entire discography.
