Jello for Christmas.

[Leaping Lindner]

Father Christmas was very clever this year and brought me something I REALLY wanted."Dead Kennedys - The Early years live" on DVD.He also brought me a DVD player to play it on luckily
It features "California Uber Alles","Kill the poor","Drug me",The man with the dogs" "Insight" "Let's lynch the landlord" "Bleed for me" "Holdiay in Cambodia" "Viva las Vegas" as well as an interview with Jello from a TV show/doco when he ran for Mayor of San Fran that's pretty interesting especially as the interviewer doesn't/won't mention the name of the band in the voiceover.
For any DK fans(or any fans of pre-corporate punk) out there it's well worth getting.It runs for a mere 30 minutes but it is 30 minutes of joy.
Santa told me the damage is $35 and is available at more "alternative" music shops. I don't think you'll find this one at HMV or Sanity.

 

[dreamkillers]

Very lucky indeed there with the DVD............might have to do some searching for that one myself.

I was thinking about doing a thread on the earlier punk days (compared to that crap they call punk these days) after I come across the following playlist on JJJ's site.

It was on the J files with Richard Kingsmill back in June 1996 but it was a pretty good line-up and mix of classic 70's punk.........

That is a list and a half!
When I get to own my own radio station I am making you program director. It would be along the lines of GOLD-FM but for punks and (the first)new wavers

The Weirdos????? Don't know them any info ? Also hate to be a purist but aren't Bad Religon mid-late 80's?

Just as long as you realise I like other music besides punk - I love blues just as much but rarely listen to 'radio' music


From their website it tends to suggest early 81/82 but I suppose Richard wanted to have the classic song included on the night - you can download an mp3 from their site at Fu**_Armageddon_This_Is_Hell

About the early days and first album....

When the major record companies refused to sign anything resembling punk, Gurewitz decided they would simply start their own label to release the band’s incendiary music. BAD RELIGION soon issued a crudely recorded self titled EP on a newly formed Epitaph label and quickly followed up with a much better produced full-length album titled “How Could Hell Be Any Worse?” a record considered by many to be a milestone of Southern California punk music.

In the beginning there was... With this album a fuse was lit, leading to an explosion that spawned a new religion: Bad Religion. This, their second record and first LP is nothing short of genius. Shattered-glass guitar riffs, fast, furious drums, and a 16 year old Greg Graffin's voice for the ages. The coalescence of lyrical intellect and savage music make for a sound seldom (if ever) heard before. The impact of this record still resonates to this day. Classic tracks like "**** Armageddon...This Is Hell," "American Dream," and "The Voice Of God Is Government" are as crucial and socially lucid as the day they were created in a southern California garage. When the greatest punk records of all-time are discussed, How Could Hell Be Any Worse is sure to be mentioned.


On The Wierdos I haven't heard of them but on a quick search on Google.........sound interesting with the right kind of song titles for their day...........

We Got The Neutron Bomb
We got the neutron bomb,
We got the neutron bomb
We got the neutron, gonna drop it all over the place
Yer gonna get it on yer face
Foreign aid from the land of the free
But don't blame me
We got the neutron bomb,
We got the neutron bomb
We got the neutron, don't understand you don't know what you mean
We don't want you we want your machines
United Nations and NATO won't do
It's just the red, white and blue
We got the neutron bomb,
We got the neutron bomb
We got the neutron, that's the way it's gotta be
Survivial of the fittest is the way it's gonna be
We don't want it, we don't want it,
Don't blame me
We don't want it, we don't want it,
Don't blame me


Might have to look for some MP3's over the w/e.......

Surprised to hear it on the radio last week.


Love the avatar BTW.

 

[Leaping Lindner]

DK thanks a heap for all the info. The Bomp label and the year 1977 is a pretty good combo in my book so I'll have to investigate further. With Bad Religon I also associate them with the late 80's as that's when I "discovered" them and started playing them on my show on MMM. Now that I think about it there is a compile out called "81-82"(?)! The only thing I have currently of theirs (after the big "move" cull of a couple years back)is "Stanger than fiction"

Speaking of "No More Heroes" that was the first punk/new wave single I ever bought! Purchased at The Muses (in Regent Arcade) for the pricely sum of $1.25. Still love the song and quite apt to play it this week after Monday's news.I assume it was on RRR or PBS Mac.

"MTV Get off the air" (Live at the closing night of DMPOS). Got the video years ago but haven't spotted on DVD yet. Hopefully it is around. The weird thing about that video is that whenever you see "Holiday in Cambodia" (live version) on Rage it is from that show and yet HIC is not on video???!!!!???? Two questions arise from that.(1). Why the hell not? and (2) Where the hell did the ABC get the footage from????

 

[Rusty Brookes]

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Wierdos. I have a compilation of their singles and their song "Life of Crime" is awesome. The Zeros are another great LA punk band who I had the good fortune of seeing live in 2000. In the 70s they were known as the Mexican Ramones and recorded one of the greatest punk singles of all time, "Wimp".

I might have to track down that DKs DVD.

I notice Chaos music have 2 DK DVD's currently for sale......

The one you got for Xmas.......

Early Years Live
1 California Uber Alles - Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco 1979
2 Kill the Poor - 330 Grove Street San Francisco, 1979
3 Drug Me - Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco 1979
4 The Man With the Dogs - Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco 1980
5 Insight - Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco 1980
6 Let's Lynch the Landlord - Mabuhay Gardens San Francisco 1980
7 Bleed for Me - Target Studios San Francisco 1981
8 Holiday in Cambodia - Target Studios San Francisco 1981
9 Viva Las Vegas - Sproul Plaza Berkeley 1978

and

Dmpo's On Broadway - Dead Kennedys
1 Police Truck
2 Hop With the Jet Set
3 A Child and His Lawnmower
4 Religious Vomit
5 Do the Slag
6 Moral Majority
7 Mtv Get Off the Air
8 Life Sentence
9 Jock O Rama
10 Goons of Hazzard
11 Riot
12 Bleed for Me
13 Nazi Punks **** Off
14 We've Got A Bigger Problem Now

although this second one is damn expensive at $75 - probably cheaper to source from OS in making sure to get it in PAL format.

You could send an email off to Rage but they have a tendency to not answer emails but I bet if you sent JJJ an email - in particular Richard Kingsmill who lists their live performance at the Tivoli in Sydney in 1986 as his favourite live show he might be able to help out.........

Or you could try posting at the J Trade site - fair chance someone has made a copy over the years...........

 

[Leaping Lindner]

Cheers for that. That confirms that the live at DMPOS is out on DVD. Yeah $75 is expensive for a DVD but when I first got the video it cost me $60(and that was over 10 years ago - at Verandah as a matter of interest).
I might have to get into Gaslight this weekend and have a sniff around. Also want to grab a copy of "Westway to the world"

Your other idea is brilliant. I'd never have thought to do that. I have a mate at the ABC so may see if I can pull in favour there. I just love the bit of the clip at the end when Jello stands up on stage having crowd surfed and lost the mike and says "Whoopsy".

 

[Shinboners]

Ah, good to know that the other DKs DVD wasn't a figment of my imagination.

Leaping Linder, you might want to check out Missing Link Records (Flinders Lane) and Heartland Records (Victoria market) for the DMPOs DVD - I'm certain that I saw it at one of those shops (more likely to have been at Heartland). I doubt that Gaslight will have it.

I found 'We Got The Neutron Bomb' on Kazaa this afternoon.......hopefully can find 'Life Of Crime over the w/e.......

Certainly looks like my next CD order is going to have an interesting mix..........


LL....you've mentioned my 2 of my 3 old favourite music stores in recent posts.......Verandah and The Muses (I used to spend hours in there each week as a youngster)...........my other music store hangout I can't think of the name but used to be opposite the eastern end of Rundle Mall where Target is these days........it was handy as my bus ride home had a stop out the front..........if you couldn't find what you were after in those 3 stores it wasn't available in Adelaide - but all three were good for orders..........

Mind you being without the net to buy things through these days I'd be 'Stranded'...........

Just thought I'd mention I have the song list from the show. "Acquired" at the end of the night of Jello's mike stand.

"Oh My God we are playing in a zeppelin hanger"

Andromeda! The place to be on a friday night with that weeks pay burning a hole in your pocket. You are right in that between the three stores you could get anything available at the time, or at the very worse have to order it and they'd get it pronto.Seem to recall this was also about the time Umbrella started to get some good imports through.Mostly 12"ers from the UK that weren't released locally.

Picking up from another thread re The Saints. Did you ever get a copy of "The most primitive band in the world"? It's a CD released a couple of years back of some "rough as guts" demos that the Saints did prior to fame. It is very raw but well worth having if you are a fan.

Yep Andromeda was the place..........and spent many hours in there waiting for buses...........I remember the name Umbrella - where was the store located - heads a little fuzzy this morning.......

and as you would expect I do have a copy of 'The Most Primitive Band In The World'...............released in 1995 with the first 9 tracks recorded in Ed's garage early-to-mid 1974 and the last track recorded at the University of Queensland

Apparently Ed's garage hosted a few gigs over the years as they would get banned at most venues after 1 gig...........

Ed's garage is also where the rift between Chris and himself developed when they talk about how the Saints started.........

Chris says he didn't join the Saints until one of these garage gigs where he supposedly just got up and started singing..........Ed says they'd been working together for a while before that show..........I know which one I'd believe.........

The punk thread is up and I hope to have the Saints/Ed one done later today..............

 

[Leaping Lindner]

As a bit of a postscipt to this thread. I finally dragged myself into Melbourne yesterday and went to various stores. I did find that Dead Kennedys DVD (Live at DMPOS) at Gaslight for $75. I stood there in the store holding it and came to the realization I couldn't bring myself to pay $75 for a DVD of something that I have (track for track) on video. Well not yet anyway. There is no "extras" on the DVD.
Instead I invested $40 in the new JAM double DVD set. This is just released and is brilliant. Contains all their filmclips and some very rare TV footage. It's also good to see Paul Weller before he joined The Style Council(and totally sucked IMO ). Funnily enough I found it at HMV. Any Jam fans out there track this down it's a must see.

They actually have some good stuff once you wade through the commercial crapola.

Complete Jam I'm presuming........it was added to my buy list a few days ago........

PS.....I may have found a copy of Inner City Sounds by Clinton Walker.......it's in the UK and am just waiting to find out the price.
