Big Questions with the Dead Milkmen is back. This episode is about our recent shows at the Underground Arts here in Philadelphia.
As a sort of side-quest, I’ve created an eight-minute short film about The Eraserhood.
A Cover of The Dead Boy’s “Caught with the Meat in Your Mouth” (Featuring HEINRICH!)
Hold you; touch you; feel you tonight: The Re-BGB Experiment is back!
Last time we introduced you to minimal synth outfit Richard Hell and the Voidoids. In this episode you’ll be exposed to the Trip-Hop stylings of the Dead Boys, featuring a guest vocal performance from legendary synth legend native of Berlin (PA) HEINRICH!
Enjoy! (Even though you probably won’t)

A Cover of Richard Hell & the Voidoids’ “Blank Generation”
Ever since I wrapped up the Re-Blitzed project last summer, I’ve been meaning to start a new experiment in a new place and era. This new project is called “Re-BGB”. I’ll be reimagining some early Punk songs as minimalist synth tunes. It’s not a bad idea – it’s a terrible idea and I plan to run towards this approaching subway train at full speed. Up first: a cover of Richard Hell & the Voidoids’ “Blank Generation”
And here’s the original
I would also like to recommend Richard Hell’s autobiography “I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp”

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Nine: The Nightmare (2015)
By now I hope you trust my taste in Horror films enough to believe me when I tell you that one of the most disturbing Horror films that you will ever see is, in fact, a documentary.
Much love to Rodney Ascher (the other Rodney A.) for crafting a flick that actually sent chills down my spine. What starts off as a study of sleep paralysis shifts gear when the participants begin to discuss “The Hat Man”.
Good luck getting to sleep.
31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Eight: Twin Peaks: The Return. Episode 8 (2017)
Gotda light?
We touched upon Atomic Age Horror yesterday, so I wanted to take a minute to tip my hat to one of the scariest things I’ve watched in the last decade: episode 8 of “Twin Peaks: The Return”. What this episode lacks in dialogue (it goes for nearly a half hour without a single word being spoken) it more than makes up for in disturbing imagery.
This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.
