Virus 100
Back in print after five years!
"In 1992, Alternative Tentacles-the label co-founded by Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra-decided to celebrate its 100th
release with the largely in-house DK tribute Virus 100. Solipsism aside, the disc succeeds: Everyone from Neurosis and
Napalm Death to Mojo Nixon and L7 contribute renditions of DK's manic, twangy, hardcore anthems. The approach ranges
from faithful to hilariously skewed, though Virus 100's most infamous track is Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy's
grinding, funk-industrial version of 'California Über Alles,' which first appeared weeks earlier on the band's debut,
Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury. Even Faith No More's crooning piss-take of 'Let's Lynch The Landlord' works, perhaps
because Mike Patton reverse-engineered the treatment that Biafra previously gave Elvis' 'Viva Las Vegas.'"
