California love

One night at a birthday party in Buenos Aires it emerges I've spent time in the Bay Area and the conversation turns to The Dead Kennedys. I ask the interested gentleman what his favorite track is and he's so drunk he can't remember any - when he asks me mine the first one that comes to my mind is all about sex and alcohol.

Stumbled upon a drum n' bass remix/mashup of a better choice, "California Uber Alles", and Gil Scott Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (in the running for Best. Song. Ever.) - like California these days, a bit rough around the edges and a bit over the top.

Not a bad thing at all, though.
