OT - I'm going to a music festival this weekend.

As predicted, the highlight of the weekend was getting to see The Dead Milkmen, one of the most underrated bands of all time. Definitely a top 5 all time band for me. Maybe even top 3. They never fail to put a smile on a face. 10 albums, and every one is totally solid. Ranking them in order from favorite to least would be an impossible task. Unfortunately, they get unfairly labeled as a "novelty band" just because they have funny lyrics.
About an hour after I saw them I was just walking around and I ran into their drummer, Dean Clean. He seemed to recognize me as I was approaching him, but then I realized it was just because I was wearing my Dead Milkmen shirt. I didn't want to be an annoying gushing fan, so I just shook his hand and said "great job!" and moved on.
Some top tracks for the non-believers. I urge you to give them a listen:
Nutrition:
Nitro Burning Funny Cars:
Part 3:
If I had a Gun:
Big Words Make the Baby Jesus Cry:

I tried, man. They don't do anything for me. They just
sound
too jokey; too novelty. That first song, "Nutrition," was OK. It had good bass.
Least you got to see 'em. That's cool.
You got the wrong guy, mang. I don't come off no banana boat.
