…and somehow I deleted my comment and all the replies. Cool cool cool.

Repost.

Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl - My cool older cousin introduced me to the Dead Milkmen before Beelzabubba came out and gave me his Bucky Fellini tape. So this song inspired some fond memories anyway, but then it’s also just so damn good. Absolute classic.

Yeah, I think once it goes out it can’t be deleted from other instances, just my own.

This band will always put me in a good mood, especially anything from Eat Your Paisley, Bucky Fellini, or Beelzebubba. I can be in the darkest, most depressed mindset and this band will never fail to cheer me up.

Watching the video this morning, I think this was actually a really formative musical moment for me. Super catchy, slightly subversive, kind of awkward & nerdy bands/songs have appealed to me ever since. I’d say without even knowing it, this song really paved the way for a love of power pop.

Their new record is incredible. Not as poppy but a great vibe. Saw them live in the spring and it was fantastic.

I love their new record!!! Horns, a little experimental, so good. My only complaint is the leadoff song which was a castaway from the last album - it doesn’t fit the vibe.

Damn, I haven’t listened to The New Pornographers in years. Now I know what I’m listening to the rest of the day.
