[quote=Mild Child]not really, it's more 'B-Sides and other Rarities'. People always say it's their Best Of when there's only two actual singles on it (Holiday in Cambodia and California Uber Alles)

Yeah, i thought it was like that.

It's ace, i love some of the querky songs on it.

heh yeah, those songs like Man With The Dogs that have an interesting ending are awesome. I love it when DK does that

guns_of_brixton 12-31-2005 10:58 AM

I say that I Spy and Great Wall are the best tracks on Bedtime.

Jersey's Best Dancer 12-31-2005 01:12 PM

I have Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death on viynl and it doesnt have the album name on the bottom. Is it supposed to be like that cause it is the viynl or is it a misprint?

^^^
It has no repeated songs really, since both the Holiday and Uber Alles are different versions then what have been on previous albums.

[QUOTE=vote me][QUOTE=Brain Toad]
And all my CDs and Vinyls are Manifesto releases unfortunely, except Bedtime which is an AT release. I'm hoping to get vinyl ATs soon.

Where did you get the AT releases ???[/QUOTE]

I got Bedtime and one Frankenchrist at Rasputin record store, in the used section. I got the second Frankenchrist in the new section at The Beat record store. I'm getting a couple AT releases on eBay soon.

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]Yeah, i thought it was like that.

I love Night of the Living Rednecks, but I like it more in context because Jello starts making fun of Ray for having to go off stage to tune his guitar because he is too shy. The show it's from (Portland, Oregon) is a really good show from them.

Jersey's Best Dancer 12-31-2005 03:51 PM

no answer for me Brain Toad? Thought u might kno.

[QUOTE=FloggingMurphy]no answer for me Brain Toad? Thought u might kno.[/QUOTE]

I actually don't, because I've never seen that vinyl so I wouldn't know. It seems to be it's probably a misprint though.

Jersey's Best Dancer 12-31-2005 04:09 PM

I looked it up more and it seems that about 10% of the pics I found didnt have it written. The AT release didn't, but my copy is from Manifesto.

Mild_child 01-02-2006 10:12 AM

Hey, I read on Sputnik in a review for FFFRV that Jello refered to a Dr. Seuss story in "Your'e a Star Belly Sneech, you suck like a leech" lol. Which story was it? Does anyone know of any other references in his music?

Sounds like a reference to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but I'm not sure.

I know I Fought the Law and I Won is a reference is to the "Twinkee defense" trial where a man shot and killed the mayor of San Francisco and a head city supervisior and said it was because of junk food made him depressed.

Oh wait. Yes, I remember this. Ahaha, [URL="http://www.firstanimationart.com/sitebuilder/images/SL_Star_Belly_Friends_almost-328x338.jpg"]The Star Bellied Sneeches [/URL]


Not sure if any of you read Dr. Seuss, but he was part of my life in Elementary School. IT's about these 'sneeches' that put stars on their bellies to fit in. Really does fit into the song where he goes "You want everyone to be like you"

You still read Dr. Seuss, don't you? It's o.k. to admit it. Some of us just have more of an extensive reading comprehension than others. :D

Flagjacket 01-02-2006 09:54 PM

I honestly think that Star Bellied Sneeches is one of the greatest stories ever written.

Nah* :lol: I just remember in my health class (:naughty:) they teacher put up a big poster-thing of the Sneeches about trying to 'act cool' just to fit in which is sopposed to help us. I just got kind of excited when I found out Jello's reference.

Brain Toad 01-03-2006 05:54 PM

I'm trying to debate whether I want to bid on this Frankenchrist vinyl with poster on eBay right now. It ends in 2 hours and has jumped from $7 yesterday to $21.50 today, and I'm afraid it'll go too high for my limit, even though it's already past my $15. I kind of want to get it, but I also rather find it in a record shop myself and treasure my find.

Also have some other DK related auctions I'm watching, including Klaus Floride's solo album (vinyl), and In God We Trust Inc AT vinyl, Skateboard Party bootleg vinyl, and a Tumor Circus unplayable picture disc.

Lazybassplr56 01-03-2006 06:13 PM

Wait on the Frankenchrist album. It's funner to find stuff in record stores.

Well I decided not to get the Frankenchrist album. The Klaus got bumped up too high for my tastes ($13 is a bit much for something thats not that special to me) and put in a bid on the IGWTI vinyl. I'm more than likely going to get the Tumor Circus as long as the high bid isn't something outragous, and more than likely the Skateboard Party one.

Mild_child 01-03-2006 08:25 PM

Is it Klaus' Jumbo Shrimp? I'd want that so bad...

Brain Toad 01-03-2006 08:26 PM

[QUOTE=Mild_child]Is it Klaus' Jumbo Shrimp? I'd want that so bad...[/QUOTE]

Nope solo album. If it was Jumbo Shrimp, I might've been more willing to buy it.

Anxious 01-03-2006 08:50 PM

Forward to Death is officially my favorite DK song now.

ThisUserIsAPipebomb 01-03-2006 09:04 PM

I got the FFFRV remaster/DVD for christmas and today I watched the DVD. It was ridiculously short and only talked about DK in there FFFRV times and I was expecting alot more. Other than that it was great. Really good live footage and good talks with Klaus and Ray even though Ray seems like an idiot.


Also, I was bummed they didn't talk to Jello. I hate that he pretty much stays out of any business that involves DK now. Really dissapointing.

"Former lead-singer Jello Biafra was asked to participate and chose not to."
:lol: yeah, I wished there'd would've been at least interview with 6025 or Ted Or D.H.

Anxious 01-03-2006 10:15 PM

Yeah Jello's being a real asshole.

EDIT: OMGZZ new filter!!

Brain Toad 01-03-2006 10:18 PM

It's more that he is still pretty upset at the band for the suit and is just holding to his beliefs that he was right. A bit stubborn, but he has reasons for why he is avoding them.

And if it was just about FFFRV, then interviewing DH would be pointless, as he didn't join that band until PSD.

Anxious 01-03-2006 10:29 PM

Yeah I know what you mean but still....

NoMeansNo's cover is grand.


The Frankenchrist LP ended up going for $21.50. I'll find out tomorrow if I win the IGWTI one.

And the Klaus didn't sell.

guns_of_brixton 01-04-2006 11:42 AM

I had a dream and at one point I turned on the tv and a band that looked like Slipknot or some s'hit nu-matal band that wore masks was playing Too Drunk To F'uck, but oddly enough Jello was still singing it. Ghey.

And why was Pull My Strings never studio recorded? Its awesome.

Mild_child 01-04-2006 12:03 PM

Good question, maybe because they totally ripped 'my sherola' in it? it was such a killer song, I wished they did it in the studio. The Geetar solo is cool.

Brain Toad 01-04-2006 04:28 PM

I think it's better live because of the whole they start playing Uber Alles then Jello stops them, proclaims they for adults now, then jump into Pull my Strings, so it's better live.

In other news, I won the In God We Trust Inc vinyl for $9.50 on ebay. I'll be bidding on the Tumor Circus more then likely, and as long as the Skateboard Party doesn't go up too high, that too.

me likes punk 01-04-2006 04:40 PM

Whats the deal with Jello being mad at DK? I've never heard the whole story.

sketchyjoe 01-04-2006 04:43 PM

He went to sleep in the van once in 1986 and Ray put his dick in his mouth, Klaus took a picture and DH had it blown up and projected onto the GOlden Gate Bridge. Jello was not happy.

True story.

Brain Toad 01-04-2006 04:46 PM

[QUOTE=me likes punk]Whats the deal with Jello being mad at DK? I've never heard the whole story.[/QUOTE]

This is what I remember, you can find both sides online. deadkennedys.com has the band's point of view.

When the band broke up, they went their seperate ways and such, but were still friends. But Ray and the rest of the band supposdly tried to sell Holliday in Cambodia to Levi's for a commercial, and Jello wouldn't allow it, and since it was on his label, he supposdly had more control over the songs. The band then accused Jello of hording royalities and they went to court over it. The trial lasted until last year when Jello just got fed up with it and ended the case, paying back whatever they said he owed them. During this time the rest of DK tried to set up reunion tours for different causes and tried to get Jello to come back, but of course he wouldn't.

Bukowski 01-04-2006 05:18 PM

Are Dead Kennedys minus Jello touring, or anything? I can't imagine it would be the same without him, but i'd love to see them.

Liebensaft 01-04-2006 05:22 PM

Yeah, they had a couple different singers I think. The one now is named Penalty I believe.

Somewhat. There is tourdates on deadkennedys.com and I think lynch_me saw them once. They tour with Jeff Penalty on vocals now.

Forest_Fire 01-04-2006 06:17 PM

I listened to DK for the first time in a while today, even though it was only one song: Forest Fire. It came up on random on my mp3 player. It is such an amazing song.

Ahaha Jello's crazy..There's also this one on Video Google where he's doing Cal. Uber Alles and the cord pops out of his mic and he's still singing. What's with the green glove that he has though?

In the photo section on their site, they have a live recording of Police Truck with Jeff Penalty.
