But they missed "careerofevil.org.uk" - that's still available...
The one I thought interesting was careerofevil.jobs. I guess that's for people who really want a career of evil.

Speaking of which, as a result of this, I think for the time being, the "normal" BOC set must now comprise the "Big FOUR", plus 9 or 10 other songs... BTW: It's started:

> A harvest of limbs, of arms and of legsAs she seems to be using wrong lyrics, and I've been looking around for what her source might be, as she certainly doesn't seem to have sent her money off to Setauket or wherever it was for some green computer print-outs back in the day, and I found this link (you might have to copy and paste this as this board software doesn't think it's a link): lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_%C3%96yster_Cult:Mistress_Of_The_Salmon_Salt_(Quicklime_Girl)

Ralph, maybe they got the lyrics from the Japanese reissues? Do you know what, I'm starting to think my ears are playing tricks on me. The official BOC site lyrics are: "A harvester lifts his arms to the rain" Can't say I understand the line (nothing unusual in that for me) but anyway, that's what I've always understood the lyrics to be - and I've just played them again a couple of times and the above line seems to fit - and EB sort of growls that bit anyway... but Carl on J&A has now got me thinking: Could it be "A harvest of limbs, of arms and of legs" after all? That seems to fit in more, even if I can't make it out on the record...

No, that's right. Don't believe every wiki you read. : )

Quote of the day..
>>Why did Strike think his ex-stepfather (she found it odd to think of him in those terms, as he was only five years older than Strike) would have sent him the leg? She wondered when Strike had last seen the man he thought had murdered his mother. There was so much she did not know about her boss. He did not like to talk about his past. Robin’s fingers slid back to the keys and typed Eric Bloom. The first thing that occurred to her, staring at the pictures of the leather-clad seventies rocker, was that he had Strike’s exact hair: dense, dark and curly. This reminded her of Jacques Burger and Sarah Shadlock, which did nothing to improve her mood. She turned her attention to the other two men whom Strike had mentioned as possible suspects, but she could not remember what their names had been. Donald something? And a funny name beginning with B… Her memory was usually excellent. Strike often complimented her on it. Why couldn’t she remember?

Nice, Buck!!!
This is really exciting stuff, and even more so for the Oysterboys.
Now, if there's a character named Jesse Python, I'm gonna freak!

Don't believe every wiki you read. : ) Blimey! Well if that's right, then, actually, it's the wiki-related link that would seem to be the correct one in this case - the other interpretation: namely "a harvester lifts his arms to the rain" line is from the "official" lyrics given on "blueoystercult.com", so it looks like they've got this one wrong... damn - I wonder if there are any other incorrect lyrics I've been singing along to all these years...?

If you listen to that section of "Qucklime," Eric's talking all about body parts, so arms and legs in that sequence is logical.

Oh I agree, but the thing about BOC lyrics - especially the early varieties - is that I am just so used to NOT being able to substantially understand them, that I'm perfectly prepared to accept something that defies logic, especially when it comes from boc.com...
You probably won't have seen it, but those Quicklime lyrics in particular frequently cause debate and speculation in the various BOC-related forums, newsgroups and FB pages etc - eg: is it "that juke joint" or "that Duke's joint" (and if the latter, what Duke?), where do the Coast Guard crews fit in?, etc etc - in such company, something like "a harvester lifts his arms to the rain" didn't really seem to stand out as particularly odd...

One of of my favorite authors is Harlen Coben, and he features some BOC references in about half of his books, but never anything like this.
