394.0. "DEAD KENNEDYS " by BAHTAT::BOOTH () Thu Apr 06 1989 21:04

    
    THE DEAD KENNEDYS - GIVE ME CONVENIENCE OR GIVE ME DEATH
    
    I bought this album a few months ago.  Released in 1987, it's
    definetely one of the best Punk albums i've ever bought.
    
    It includes "Holiday in Cambodia", one of my favourite, and i think
    one of the best known DK songs.
    
    If you like Punk then this album is really one you should consider
    buying.

> Try "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" that'll knock yer sox off.

I agree! This is the only DKs album I own, but its the only one I feel I
need to own. This features the classic "Holiday in Cambodia", and also
has great songs like "California Uber Alles", "I Kill Children", and a
great cover of Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas".

For more info on the DKs, look in the YODA::EHM notesfile (which started
out as Extreme Heavy MEtal, but now includes a lot of topics on hardcore
and punk bands such as the DKs, Clash, Sex Pistols, etc.)

394.3Off on a tangent ...FILTHY::PURMALWhere is my mind?Fri Apr 07 1989 02:066
        Here's a tangential piece of information.  Jello Biafra, leader
    of the DK's ran for mayor of San Francisco in the late 70's or early
    80's.  In a field of 6 to 10 candidates he came in third with over
    10,000 votes.

394.4Take this job and shove it...OTTO::COTTONThe man with no personal nameFri Apr 07 1989 19:0210
    
    More Information;
    
    Since the Kennedy's split over a year ago, Jello has formed a (maybe)
    one-off band called LARD and has just released a single `The Power of
    Lard'.  Apparently it's awful, but then I'm not a big fan of theirs.
    `Bedtime for Democracy' was funny though.  Jello also did a tape just
    of him ranting on last year called `No More Cocoons'.

    re .5
    
    Jello has done a few other post-Lard albums, some of them spoken word
    and the others collaberations with other bands. I've never heard any of
    the spoken word albums and I don't think I want to but the music albums
    are up to his usual high standards. The music albums (in no particular
    order) are:
    
    w NoMeansNo		The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy
    
    w D.O.A.		Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors
    
    w Mojo Nixon	Prairie Home Invasion
