The king in yellow dead milkmen2/12/2023 They became an institution of the underground. Never quite as solid as the early days, but always containing some gems. Fast forward a couple of decades and some hit and miss records. Always funny, but in an often sad or scary way. (I’m looking at you Steven Blush!) The songs presented weird slices of life that you know damn well were happening out there somewhere. Dead Milkmen were a jokey band, not at joke band. Both tapes worked in different ways to send me on my way to the present. I promptly bought Big Lizard in My Backyard and I Against I. I have been a diehard Milkmen fan ever since that day circa 1987 when that cool older kid told me that if I liked Sex Pistols, I should really check out Dead Milkmen and Bad Brains. Part of me was glad that I would never have to. Never in my life did I think I’d be getting the chance to review a new Dead Milkmen record.
