apparently that man's record collection is out of control.

    He's been popping up (no-ayo) in a bunch of documentaries lately... I never noticed before, but his talking voice and singing voice are essentially identical. (Both are hilarious.)

    yeah, he's been a pretty serious collectro for a long long time from what I've read/heard. Which doesn't surprise me as DK's always struck me as a very musically literate punk band.

    What's up with that funky 7" from around '81 that was put out on his label.

    His chapter in the Incredibly Strange Music book is dope, as is The Cramps collection.

    I loved DK, but Jello is one annoying dude.

    There's a guy in my hometown who was in this band called R??vjunk (R??v meaning fox in Swedish). They were a really obscure Swedish punk band. One day the phone rings: "Hi, this is Jello Biafra, were you the drummer for R??vjunk? I've been offered your single for ??250, I wanted to check if I could get it cheaper from you?" He couldn't. He's a SERIOUS punk collector.

    How old are you? Have you been going to shows for a minute? Ever see any of the old Swedish and Finnish bands? Rattus, Mob 47, Bastards, Spraktasnutlslackers, Rovsvette, Totalitar, Kuolema, Appendix, Svart Sno? Was Valkivaltaa real? Enquiring minds . . .

    Jello's got great knowledge and he has a lot to say about music. I'd rather hear him do spoken word than say someone like Henry Rollins anyday.
