Jello Biafra and the Cocteaus

[Maria Jose]

"B: The underground scene is still a cool way to meet a lot of cool people, see a lot of interesting bands and get a lot of food for thought, but people have to remain curious and get their brain activity food from other places besides punk. Many of my spoken word shows are at universities, and [some of] the people who bring me in are either political activists, who may listen to Tracy Chapman or The Cocteau Twins or something like that. In fact, there was a whole tour where people kept saying, "I'm really getting into alternative rock now. Do you like The Cocteau Twins?" It happened again and again, and to this day I've never heard them."

Let's find Jello's addr. and mail him a CT comp.! --Alan

I outgrew Jello's music about 10 years ago, but he is one righteous dude in my book. I've seen him speak twice. Hilarious and thought-provoking.

And I agree: he needs a CT compilation. If someone out there is going to send him one, here's some advice: He's more the "Musette and Drums" type and would probably hate "Rilkean Heart" (but then again, who doesn't?)

Please, no flames! It's a JOKE! :eek:

I found this address on a celebrity addr. site:

Jello Biafra
PO Box 419092
San Francisco, CA 94141
USA

Maybe we can do some sort of poll to decide which tracks to include. I don't have access to hardly any of my CT stuff at the moment, so I can't burn the CD-R right now. Anyone else interested in doing it? --Alan
