Stream: Dead Milkmen, ‘Dark Clouds Gather Over Middlemarch’ 7-inch — 3 new songs

The Dead Milkmen are celebrating Halloween today by debuting three brand-new songs off the first in a new series of limited-edition 7-inch singles online — but only until midnight. The tracks include “Dark Clouds Gather Over Middlemarch” and “Ronald Reagan Killed the Black Dahlia,” off the 7-inch itself, and a bonus digital track: a cover of ROME’s “Little Rebel Mine” featuring Audrey Crash.

You can stream them today via the band’s Soundcloud page; after that, you’ll have to hunt down the vinyl. And if you’re in Philadelphia, they’re playing a Halloween show tonight.

As Rodney Anonymous writes on the band’s message board:

“In honor of Halloween (The greatest holiday in like the history of Forever) we’ll be placing all three sides (WTF? OK. There’s two sides with an extra digital track ) of the first in a series of limited edition vinyl singles on Soundcloud for you to hear for 24 hours. And that’s 24 hours in-a-row mofo’s! None of this 38 seconds here-and-there BS that tragically marred the release of Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ (Available at Walgreen’s)”

  1. Eh… not bad. First song is classic DM. Would really like to see these guys do a real tour. Not sure one offs here and there.

    Get out on the road, 20 – 25 dates in the major cities, and give everybody a chance to see them live again.

    I’ve been on a milkmen kick of late. I think I’ve listened to “in praise of sha na na” about 10 times in the last week…
