OT, for any youngn's who liked the Dead Milkmen.......

[Spitfire1776]

.....a sad loss Tues. - Dave Blood, has passed away. Grew up listening to those guys, always gave me a good smile.

[Kilroy]

It's a total trip...

I got a hankerin' to hear "Bitchin' Camaro" so I called in to "Jones' Jukebox" (Steve Jones) and requested it on Tuesday. Found out later that Blood had done himself.

Before Tuesday, I honestly hadn't thought about the Dead Milkmen in years! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

been listening to them all day today in tribute... I love the guys and all, but I have to admit the "all Johnny Cash Day" was a little more bearible...

i wish i could find the "Big Lizard in My Backyard" t shirt i used to have, i'd wear it in remembrance...

[repoguy]

I remember seeing them on the big lizard tour back in the 80's.

On that particular night the milkmen got through about half of their set before the skins started pelting them with beercans and then chased them off the stage.

Bummer.

"Just you and me punk-rock girl".

I only had one of their albums but must have played it a million times.

I think I'll drive out to the Bahamas...

This just sucks all the way around. First, I hear that Mojo Nixon is hanging it up for good, after one last show in Austin on the 20th...and now Dave Blood is gone. The cynicism that helped shape my teenage years is fading fast..

"If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'..."

[delaware george]

oh mojo...i saw the milkmen years ago in washington d.c. at the 9:30 club....it was crazy,they were singing about taking retards to the zoo and some guy in a wheel chair was clapping his ass off http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Oh man, bummer. The wife and I listened to them for hours on a road trip last year. We had the whole bitchin' camero intro down. You know, "Hey Jack what's happening, rumor around town is you're thinking about going down to the shore" etc... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
