Dead Kennedy's Pick

 After you've gotten the Dead Kennedys family pick and solo picks with and without Jello Biafra, it only made sense to throw in my pick of the DK's themselves. I usually don't when there are great compilations already available. And the the Dead Kennedys do have some samplers available. I suggest Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death or perhaps you could try Milking The Sacred Cow or even the Original Singles Collection to get most all these tracks. All of them have tracks not on my pick and all are missing tracks from my pick. That's just the way it goes. If you like the band enough to get all these picks, you'll want those three as well anyway.

01 Dead Kennedys - Soup Is Good Food
02 Dead Kennedys - Pull My Strings

No Jello Pick

This continues the Dead Kennedys solo family pick. This one obviously is all tracks with no Jello Biafra. Which leaves us with the three other main guys of the band: East Bay Ray, DH Peligro and Klaus Flouride. They each had solo albums or were in other bands. But I specifically did not include one band. the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Peligro played with the Chili Peppers (even wrote a couple of songs for one of their albums) but he left before he recorded those songs, so I do not include them (from Mothers Milk).Peligro also made three albums as Peligro. Klaus Flouride had a few solo albums going back the longest. And East Bay Ray played with several people as well as his solo shots. None of them as famous or well known as the DK's, but still cool. Maybe the Guitar Hero track...

No Jello Pick

01 Klaus Flouride - Shortnin Bread
02 Klaus Flouride - The Drowning Cowboy
03 Peligro - King of the Road

Jello Biafra Pick 3

This last of this pick has a few more Jello spoken word parts sampled by various artists. Ice-T is my favorite of the selection. Brujeria is a pretty cool band. One more Lard track which is long as all get out., but doesn't see like it when you are listening. Another of the evil tracks from The Witch Trials (go get that ep, its so good). A few more tracks from bands that you've already heard in the previous few days. But add in Pansy Division, Bank Of Sodom and Le Butcherettes! just to rround things out. Hopefully you enjoyed the compilation. I have the other DK's solo work coming soon as well as a shorter pick of my DK's pick (even though there are several compilations of that stuff out there already.) Tell me in the comments what I missed.

Jello Biafra Pick 2

 Part two of the Jello Biafra solo pick. This one has more of the "Ministry" connection: 100 Homo DJ's, Lard, Revolting Cocks. More of the always enjoyable Mojo Nixon who surprisingly works well with Jello. A couple of instances of bands using Jello's spoken word as samples (more of that tomorrow, too.) NoMeansNo, Throw Rag, Melvins and DOA join the list of bands Jello has guested on. All decently good on their own. The rest are bands Jello joined or formed even if only for a short while. To me the highlights are the several really long tracks and the weakest ,(to me) is the Love Me, I'm a Liberal cover. And I usually am a sucker for covers. Take the one New Orleans zydeco classic. I love that!

Jello Biafra Pick 1

One of the greatest punk bands ever is the Dead Kennedys. I was lucky enough to have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area to witness them live many times. I was able to meet Jello Biafra, hang out at the Fabulous Mabuhay Gardens, interview the band, even hosted Jello later as a Spoken Word artist. He was a brilliant artist, but an ass. No biggie, because he made some great music and had insightful stuff to say. He got a pass. Just like Trump said at one time, if you are a celebrity you can get away with everything. It's true, even with a minor celebrity like Eric. His band mates were a bit nicer, but more about them on a later post. This three volume pick will not feature anything by the DK's and also nothing from the spoken word section of Jello. Maybe I will do some of that later. This is only his solo stuff on his own, but mostly with other bands. There was no lack of offers, I am sure. Every One of these tracks features Jello on vocals.One of my favorites is The Witch Trials. Especially The Tazer.
