Anyone out there know anything about The Dead Milkmen? According to
Boston Rock, their album is getting airplay, but I haven't heard or seen
it. An admissions person here says that one of the band members is a
freshman here now.
Also, have those of you that like R.E.M. heard The 28th Day. They have
an album out on Enigma records that I like, and is certainly part of the
R.E.M. generation. The lp is called 25 Pills, and has a painting of a goose
on the front. Favorite songs include "Pages Turn" and a great cover of an
old Woody Guthrie song "This Train".
Who cares who the best guitarist is? What matters is what they're playing.
I'd rather hear Paul Cook play God Save the Queen then Fripp any day.

Spin magazine reviewed the Dead Milkmen's album in the issue they reviewed Tones on Tail. I think they referred to their music as goof pop. I actually heard the whole album once when I was at Rough Trade records months and months ago. It was, if I can remember, peppy and punky (but not hardcore). One of their songs, "Bitchin Camarro", was a favorite on one of the college stations out here.
