Kill kill kill kill kill the poor
Dead Kennedys ruled so hard! Especially Plastic Surgery Disasters for me. The motive I have for making this thread is that on Tuesday I am interviewing Jello Biafra(!!!) and am both excited and afraid because he's a bit...cantankerous. His new album under Jello and The Guantanamo School of Medicine is really really good, sounds pretty close to Dead Kennedys and the guitar player is insane. Discuss!

I was dyslexic and read that as "post-Jello DK" and thought "There is no such thing."
I love the albums he did with NoMeansNo and D.O.A. And DK is one of my favorite bands ever. I saw NOFX on the Rock Against Bush tour (lulz), and he did a spoken word thing at the beginning of the show. Then he came out and did "Too Drunk to Fuck" with NOFX. Still one of the most amazing concert moments of my life.

I LOVED Dead Kennedys when I was younger, and I just started listening to them again. Like, when I first got into punk, I was all about this shit. I thought Jello was such a nutcase. But I mean...he kinda is.
I wanted to go see Jello + the Melvins last time they were here, but it didn't happen. Lame.

I used to hate Jello's voice too much to appreciate them, but I got over it, luckily.

I bought it today without listening to it. Last time I ever do that. It's really pretty lame IMO. Every song sounds the same and some parts are pretty painful.

Talked to Jello for half an hour today. We had a nerd out about the Stooges. It was great.

Someone on punknews brought up a good point: Why can't Jello just be in a band anymore? Why does he have to have his name on everything?
I tried to listen to that album again today. Shitty shit shit. Gave it away to a local record store to try to sell again.

Plastic Surgery Disasters is so fucking good.
As far as the new record, I like a lot of it, but Strength Thru Shopping is really really dumb.
