Dead Milkmen

“Eat Your Paisley” was the first Dead Milkmen album I was able to find in England back in 86. The cover art was my initial attraction to the record. I loved the childlike imagery and use of what I think was chalk to do the illustration. It certainly stood out visually, and when I got it home to play, it completely took me by surprise. It was funny, sweet, and weird, like really weird, but not Butthole Surfers weird, a weird I could relate to. A weird for kids who grew up with MAD magazine and Sid & Marty Kroft. A weird for kids who were picked last at football. A weird for kids who didn’t fit in with any of the macho stuff of adolescents. It was an amazing album that I played to death. “The Thing That Only Eats Hippies”, “Fifty Things”, “Six Days” and of course the hauntingly beautiful “I Hear Your Name” just could not get out of my head. This album never fails to put me in a good mood and make me forget the world is falling apart. Honestly don’t we need something like that every now and again? Of course we do. -Chris Shary
