Watching out for the people

Vol. I No. 8 Friday, January 6, 2006 Jello Shots Find their Targets Biafra and the Melvins give a battle cry of resistance on 'Sieg Howdy' CD Preview By Michael Tern After the last issue of Michael Tern antics, their was a storm and a hacker-raider. “Seig Howdy” I said. That was fun, until I went down to the local music store to check on some used CD’s. As I was man handling all the crap and uninspiring filth, I came upon this wonderful CD that I mail ordered a month ago from Alternative Tentacles Records called “Seig Howdy!” from Jello Biafra and The Melvins. I had to have it. As I have not received this album yet since I have just moved.. Anyways, I grabbed it ran to the clerk to buy it. As I was standing there in line I noticed the fantastic art werk. It really wasn’t why I liked it, but I have been a Jello fan since High School and have admired his perseverance threw the years. So, now I have two copies I thought, awesome. So, I got it used for really cheap. $9.99 plus lame Kalifornia sales tax so, whatever I had it. I then walked franticly towards the coffee shop for a cappuccino. As, I opened the packaging, and started to reading the insert. I knew in my head that this was going to be sick. Fucking sick line up, I thought to myself. I needed to listen to it soon! Looking threw the insert more, I noticed that Camille Rose Garcia had down the illustrations Hence being a graffiti artist the mood was set. I finished my cap and went to the Previa to insert the cd for some wonderful noise. “Seig Howdy!” Living in a van, the only music player I have is in there Turned the key and inserted the CD. Moved the volume to key level of 23, and pushed play. Familiarity, that was what touched my ears. Ahhhhhh…‘Halo of Flies’ the first song is a great set off to this album. All over the place with changes that grasp you into the song. It reminds me of some gangster who smuggles, lies and thieves society. Kind of gets me pissed off, and makes me want to revolt at the local coffee shop. I pay too much for caps? As the song ends, I am enthralled with inspiration again. Sick! I need to do a review on this, or at least try. So, if you get some time and have a little more than enough change in your pocket from paying all those leeches in the world, go down to your local music store and pick up this masterpiece. It is Shirley Sick, wow…So, I went to the office to try to write this review. Unfortunately, I am not more hardcore than thou, but respect all forms of revolutionary ideas. I listen to the Dead Kennedys in my Previa, and have the Jello Biafra spoken word on after the end of the noise. Just in that state of mind at the moment here in society. As the CD continues I am even more excited and inspired. I need more coffee. ‘Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything),’ Their fourth track, and a prelude to more chaos on this album is eye-opening to all mall punks and their mommies money with Hot Topic and MTV-inspired ideas of the Real World…See I love the Dead Kennedys and yes I love the Germs. But, without the real thing, or not living in revolt of the late ‘70s, I feel for this song. As it makes me laugh in rage for all the young children hyped into the punk scene. As it was an idea before it made money and it pooped into a scene. I can’t care about that yet, but I can care about how I can be more efficient in changing their minds. Damn this is a sick album, I need to turn it up… I must admit this is a great album go get it now. You will learn a lot about yourself and a lot about today’s society threw the ideas of these artist. Now, I need to go get a cap? Grade: A
