Just a silly little game. 'Thought experiment' if you will.Here's a picture of a fellow Mogger. Some of you may know who the person is, some of you don't. If you do keep it under your hat.The name is and isn't important. All that's important to you right now is the back story for the image. That is all you have to think about. How did these kids get here .... to this place and time?Since this i...

"Henry's post":http://mog.com/etcvisitor/blog_post/30573 got me thinking, what do you give to the kid who's just getting into good music? What collection of songs would make sure he/she doesn't head down the wrong paths? What would give them a sense of history, without being stuffy and boring? Will I ever stop asking questions?Um, right ...So, shout them out. And, please, this is for the childr...

and find its got hairs all over it?So, luckily for me, my sense of humor was pretty much fully formed by the time I was 14. That means I can still enjoy The Dead Milkmen. Way back in the day The Dead Milkmen, on their album Metaphysical Graffiti, introduced me to some people that I still like to visit frequently:There’s Cousin Earl. Earl runs a maggot farm that has 3 foot maggots. He does n.

Breathtaking isn't it?oooooooh, lunch!And of course lunch for the kids.Yep, she was quite the looker in the '80's.What do all these things have in common. Well, not much of anything really.

A good friend from high school died this week. He had an amazing mind and very sweet soul. Friends are flying to our home town from across the country to attend his funeral and I'll probably leave in the next few days. But in the meantime, I'm thinking about him constantly and feeling very old. He loved "Big Lizard" and all the songs on this album. He used to type the lyrics in typing cl...

Best track of best Dead Milkmen album...to think otherwise is just silly. And, I don't mean referencing Tony Orlando and Dawn silly. I mean driving around in a monster truck with the words "THE UNIT" across the back window silly, just pointless.PS What's wrong with these MOG folk that "punk" isn't in the drop down menu for genre? It would be one thing if I could fill in the genre myself, but th...

I thought I might MOG a bit about venues that stand out in the highlight reel of concerts past. From 1985-1987 I spent a lot of time at "Dean's Parkade Lounge" in downtown Cedar Falls Iowa. We typically came in the back door by the bathrooms and pool table (singular) to the sounds of country music and the company of country leaning compatriots. But then we went through "the magic black curta...

The interview below was conducted by one of our newest writers, Dr. Radical, back in November during Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX. We had hopes of posting it earlier, however, Dr. Radical was struck by a vehicle which held the transcription time back a bit. He is fully recovered and we are pleased [...]

I've been thinking of some of the strange music I was listening to in the early 90's. I'm talking about that strange brand of punk infused college rock that crept through the floor boards into your ears one way or another. This was before coffee houses flourished and then died at the hand of corporations, when spoken word became a new word for unstructured poetry/ranting. It was one of those...

A couple of great old interviews were recently added to The Dead Milkmen Archives. In a Philadelphia Magazine interview from February 1988, they discuss the use of power saws in their recordings: Dean: Actually that was our manager—he was playing...
