Eh?
Milk Milk Lemonade is an awesome record.

Plus, you know, they did a cover of a Sesame Street song ("Up and Down") that I used to love playing on my radio show in college. It was pretty damn good.

I've heard that it's a pretty good read, actually.
What's the name of the book? And what is the name that he's going by as the author? Is he writing it as "Dr. Frank"? Or his real name? What is his real name?

And I've been pretty into memoirs recently.


Bought it.

It's a pretty solid read. Not groundbreaking, but enjoyable.

I like MTX a song at a time. More gets to be too much.

Danny Partridge was a fun song, and Slagbag.

Oh, and King Dork is a great, fun book.

I'm about 1/4 of the way into it, and am enjoying the hell out of it.
Yay, Dr. Frank!!!

I was just thinking about them, and some of the old Lookout bands from the early 90s. Screeching Weasel, Pansy Division, Avail, etc. They were a staple of college radio pop-punk.

i just saw Pansy Division play over the weekend. They were great. And coincidentally, Joel (formerly of MTX) is now with the band.
