Anyways, “Life is Shit”, so they say.

@randomgeek We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us
To a record shop
We asked for #MojoNixon
They said, “He don't work here!”
We said, “If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin’!”

“Punk Rock Girl” (cover by SNMNMNM in 2001; originally by the Dead Milkmen in 1988)

Tribute cover albums are usually a mixed bag with more disasters than golden nuggets. 2001’s “Flogging a Dead Cow: A Tribute to the Dead Milkmen” is no exception. The good news is that the golden nuggets are seriously golden and make wading through the rest of this compilation well worth the time.
SNMNMNM is/was an acquired taste from their very beginning. Their love of substituting accordion and tuba for more traditional rock’n’roll instrumentation and their sincere nerd-nasal vocalizations aren’t for everyone, but in some ways epitomize the very definition of “punk rock.”
This cover of the Dead Milkmen’s biggest hit was certainly a risk - but one which pays off several times over. Like many great covers, SNMNMNM retains the best elements of the original while stretching it almost to the breaking point with their own inflections and interpretations.
I won’t try to describe it more fully - this is one you kinda gotta experience on your own.

The Twitter follower i was proudest and most surprised to have was Rodney Anonymous of the #deadmilkmen so if you see him here tell him I said hi
So, this is my favorite Dead Milkmen song; it really has always spoken to me.
Not the official video, but I like this one better because the lyrics are just there, to ponder.
Between school, family, animal care, and work, I’ve been working off of about four hours of broken sleep a night for the last week; things are going about as well as you can imagine.
Haiku incoming.

If you spent any amount of time in Philly and were into alternative music / punk in the 80s, this song should resonate with you… #GenX #DeadMilkmen #PunkRockGirl

One of my many favorite Dead Milkmen songs is Methodist Coloring Book.
This printing of Metaphysical Grafiti vinyl comes with a coloring book insert. ❤️ 😂 🤣

I don’t usually do any Black Friday or Record Store Day shopping. But the power of the Dead Milkmen compelled me this morning. #rsd #recordstoreday #deadmilkmen #methodistcoloringbook
