Let's Get Killed is the second album by David Holmes.

Most tracks throughout the album feature snippets of conversation between individuals from New York's crime-ridden areas. These include tramps, prostitutes, pimps and drug dealers. After recording these conversations, Holmes returned home to assemble them into the record which became Let's Get Killed. The album also includes a re-working of the James Bond theme (re-named "Radio 7"), and was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
