Rock snobs, your Christmas present came a few days late, but it did arrive. Have a listen to the perfection that is the multi-tracks for Dead Kennedys’ second single, “Holiday in Cambodia.”
Jello Biafra’s genius as a punk rock vocalist has almost never been displayed better than it is right here. Revel in his voice’s snotty, sneering, naked glory (The satirical lyrics have been slightly sanitized here, probably for the better)
Simply one of the greatest guitar performances of all time, courtesy of East Bay Ray. It’s merciless
Klaus Fluoride and “Ted” (Bruce Slesinger) on bass and drums. What a crack rhythm section. Jesus, these guys were tight!
Killer live performance of “Holiday in Cambodia,” Don’t listen to this song behind the wheel of a car. Nothing good could come of it!
