Jelo Binarkers used to sing for the
Dead Kennedys. He's a political shitmonger, so when they broke up he
started doing spoken word tours and recording them. He also got together
with some of his favorite artists to record some music every now and again.
Here's reviews of both, Jack!
Jello's first spoken word album! This is a double
album that is split between scripted speeches (some strictly political,
others humorously political), short soundbites of radio appearances and a
26-minute casual talk on censorship. Jello is VERY left-wing, to the point
of making me question whether he might be too easily accepting everything
he reads that fits his world view. In short, everything big business and
Christians say is a lie, and everything that the liberal books he reads is
true. Quite frankly, he's probably right! The "facts" he spreads in
pieces like "Mild Kingdom" (a spoken word version of "The Great Potshot
Heard Around The World") and "What Reagan Didn't Know" may very well be
true. And if they are, they're FRIGHTENING. I'm not saying I believe
everything he says, but it's certainly food for thought. It's good that we
have people like Jello actually READING these alternative texts, letting us
know about covert government goings-on that may very well have
occurred. So that political stuff, plus an uproarious piece in which Jello
suggests new names for bands ("MONDALE"!) is the upside - and it's a big
upside! He's got an interesting voice, clearly believes very fiercely in
what he's saying, and is filled with punk rock charisma. On the downside,
he spends way too much time addressing the way that pussy parents treat
their kids, reads a bunch of random newspaper clippings, recites the words to "Stars And Stripes Of Corruption"
and does this incredibly tasteless thing called "Why I'm Glad The Space
Shuttle Blew Up." He has his reasons, but for a guy who pretends to real
