Nothing Was Delivered

 In a way, “Punk Rock Girl” resembles a gleefully brain-damaged version of an R.E.M. song that had been released a few months prior and was still in heavy rotation on Teletunes (and inside my brain) at the time: “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).” But where R.E.M. crafted a Pollock-like canvas of pop-culture expressionism, The Dead Milkmen hocked a loogie on it.

Jason Heller of the AV Club reminisces about The Dead Milkmen and makes me want to break out my Doc Martins. “Punk Rock Girl” will always remind me of my youth, but I didn’t discover it it was almost a decade old. Luckily, some things never change.
