It’s Tuesday. Check out these awesome photos of Rodney Anonymous crowd-surfing in Oakland.
Happy Tuesday! Today marks the third week-a-versary of The Dead Milkmen being out, and as you may know, the band played a trilogy of shows in California this weekend. I was unable to be out there, but several friends were excited to send me photos and text me about their experiences (not to mention a vast internet of strangers sharing a deep well of content of variable quality).

My Appearance on XCSB’s Yugoslav Cultural Program
Happy Two-week-aversary (plus one day) to The Dead Milkmen. It's a busy time, especially for the band, who are playing a trio of shows in California this weekend. The first two - the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach (just call it San Diego) and Toxic Toast Theatre1 in Long Beach (don't you DARE call it Los Angeles) - sold out in blinks.

One Week of ‘The Dead Milkmen:’ Views and Reviews
Because Friday's 'This Counts as Research' subject was a heavy one, I decided to bulldoze this pile of links to today in honor of the week-aversary of The Dead Milkmen. The response has been overwhelming in the best way, with friends new and old sharing photos of their copies, freshly arrived in the mail. The crazy part is that every person who has, happens to be incredibly cool, smart, and good-looking!

This Counts as Research! (@deadmilkmen.bsky.social) Vol. 11: DAVE BLOOD ON THE NEWS, 1999 In April 1999, Dave Blood was among the last Americans evacuated as NATO's bombs rained on Novi Sad. He went to the media and did not hold back. Here are three exclusive clips of those appearances.

It wasn't so much the fish-in-barrel predictability of this distortion (see Deville's spiel), but how quickly it happened. Anybody who was anywhere close to hipsters 20 years ago remembers how much they loved Xiu Xiu and hated pretty much everything in that graphic.

The last time I used the title, it was for a similar night I booked (late that February) for March 25, 2020, and you can imagine how well that went. Come by Standing Stones…

This Counts as Research! (The Dead Milkmen) Volume 1: THE JERROCK TAPES
For much of 2025, I was deep in the throes of archival research and interviews with/about the Dead Milkmen for my forthcoming (aptly titled) book The Dead Milkmen, which you can preorder from J-Card Press here. With any book project, especially on such an eclectic and long-running band, there were many stories and artifacts that, for various reasons, slid into the margins or I needed to cut for space.

He was teaching online courses in the region during COVID when he decided to seize the opportunity to…

Postcards from Irving 13 Companion Piece: Montreal, 1944 (Film)
Happy Tuesday! In addition to numerous mid-week tasks on campus, I'm in the middle of a celebratory post about the Kingston Independent Comic Expo, along with the first (of many) posts about the making of the upcoming Dead Milkmen book. In the meantime: the algorithm blessed me with this magnificent 1944 film showing life in pre-'Quiet Revolution' Montreal. Think of it as a great companion piece to…
